1. Your existing coverage is no longer offered by your employer to all employees in a similar classification as you
2. Your insurance is non-renewable since it is no longer offered by your carrier
3. Your Medicaid coverage was terminated
4. You lost your job or are no longer employed with enough hours to receive employee benefits
