The person who fails to enroll during the IEP, or refuses automatic (deemed) enrollment,
may enroll only during the GEP.
The person whose SMI has ended because of non-payment of premiums or voluntary withdrawal
from SMI, may reenroll only during the GEP.
EXCEPTION: For a person who becomes eligible for SMI and does not lose that eligibility, the
only time enrollment after the IEP need not occur in a GEP is where the individual
meets the requirements for an SEP, as described in HI 00805.265. If an individual is eligible for an SEP, they may enroll under that SEP, even if
they were terminated due to premium non-payment.
