ON HOLD ‐ All agents should suspend use of SEP‐DST for COVID. CMS has advised all carriers must discontinue use of the 2020 national COVID‐19 Public Health Emergency as a qualifying disaster. Instead, carriers are instructed to use state declarations related to COVID to determine if SEP‐DST may be used for purposes of enrollment. In response, Humana is conducting an analysis of all states, and upon conclusion, will release guidance regarding the geographic locations in which SEP‐DST may be used to address COVID impacts.
I just got this out of Vantage today. Copied and pasted. It's posted in bottom right-hand side of vantage.
Dated 6/9/2022.
Not sure the date I got the go-ahead for Aetna DST from Aetna stating it was good through Sept, but it was very recent.
I haven't checked Aetna's website yet for an update.

Good to know you just got it today. That's the same info I got from Aetna I think a few weeks ago. Wonder if it's correct and not outdated. I'll try it anyway, but now with Aetna only for a bit. I'll ask my Humana guy tomr what the real deal is... so far what I'm seeing is only certain carriers are honoring it.
Guess with all these nuances with medicare I can't just walk away from this sight
without needing to come back and look for something else. LOL. Was enrolling a new to medicare in the vantage sight today and just happened to see that little tidbit I posted above.

These things are funny they are subject to change
When I write one I let them know its not a guarantee because you never know when it will be rejected
I am not trying to make a living of it either hoping to never have more then one or 2 pending at the same time
it's on the bottom right hand corner in "additional resouces", directly under "compliance".
