CMS imposes a temporary moratorium on new agent and broker registrations for Plan Year 2027 before the November 1, 2026 Open Enrollment Period, leaving a time-limited gap in Federally-facilitated Exchange program-integrity controls.
CMS' own enrollment and enforcement data confirms newly registered agents and brokers are driving unauthorized enrollments and plan changes, and its additional preventive controls will not be operational before the November 1, 2026 Open Enrollment Period, creating an acknowledged enforcement gap during the moratorium window.

- TARGET STATE
- CMS is finalizing a time-pressured moratorium; its existing controls fail to address the identified vulnerability, its supplemental system safeguards are not yet deployed, and unauthorized enrollment activity is active and accruing in real time.
