(4) A qualified individual, or their dependent, becomes newly eligible for enrollment in a QHP through the Exchange because they newly meet the requirements specified in Section 6472(c) or (d).
(5) A qualified individual's, or their dependent's, enrollment or non-enrollment in a QHP is unintentional, inadvertent, or erroneous and is the result of the error, misrepresentation, misconduct, or inaction of an officer, employee, or agent of the Exchange or HHS, its instrumentalities, a QHP issuer, or a non-Exchange entity providing enrollment assistance or conducting enrollment activities. For purposes of this provision, misconduct, as determined by the Exchange, includes the failure to comply with applicable standards under this title, or other applicable Federal or State laws.
(6) An enrollee, or their dependent, adequately demonstrates to the Exchange, as determined by the Exchange on a case-by-case basis, that the QHP in which they are enrolled substantially violated a material provision of its contract in relation to the enrollee.
(7) An enrollee, or their dependent enrolled in the same QHP, is determined newly eligible or ineligible for APTC or has a change in eligibility for CSR.
(8) A qualified individual, or their dependent, who is enrolled in an eligible employer-sponsored plan is determined newly eligible for APTC because such individual is ineligible for qualifying coverage in an eligible employer-sponsored plan in accordance with 26 CFR Section 1.36B-2(c)(3), including as a result of their employer discontinuing or changing available coverage within the next 60 days, provided that such individual is allowed to terminate existing coverage.

(D) If a qualified individual or enrollee, or their dependent, experiences a fire, flood, or other natural or human-caused disaster that results in the declaration of state of emergency in California, the individual shall be eligible for a special enrollment period if otherwise eligible for enrollment in a QHP. The date of the triggering event shall be the date of the declaration of state of emergency.

The date of this triggering event shall be the first day on which coverage for the qualified individual, enrollee, or dependent under the individual coverage HRA can take effect, or the first day on which coverage under the QSEHRA takes effect. An individual, enrollee, or dependent shall qualify for this special enrollment period regardless of whether they were previously offered or enrolled in an individual coverage HRA or previously provided a QSEHRA, so long as the individual, enrollee, or dependent is not enrolled in the individual coverage HRA or covered by the QSEHRA on the day immediately prior to the triggering event.
(16) The qualified individual or their dependent is enrolled in COBRA continuation coverage for which an employer is paying all or part of the premiums, or for which a government entity is providing subsidies, and the employer completely ceases its contributions to the qualified individual's or dependent's COBRA continuation coverage or government subsidies completely cease. The date of this event shall be the last day of the period for which COBRA continuation coverage is paid for or subsidized, in whole or in part, by an employer or government entity.

(C) In the case of coverage offered through an HMO or similar program in the individual market that does not provide benefits to individuals who no longer reside, live, or work in a service area, loss of coverage because an individual no longer resides, lives, or works in the service area (whether or not within the choice of the individual);
(D) In the case of coverage offered through an HMO or similar program in the group market that does not provide benefits to individuals who no longer reside, live, or work in a service area, loss of coverage because an individual no longer resides, lives, or works in the service area (whether or not within the choice of the individual), and no other benefit package is available to the individual; and
(E) A situation in which a plan no longer offers any benefits to the class of similarly situated individuals that includes the individual.

(3) Exhaustion of COBRA continuation coverage, meaning that such coverage ceases for any reason other than either failure of the individual to pay premiums on a timely basis, or for cause, such as making a fraudulent claim or an intentional misrepresentation of a material fact in connection with the plan. An individual is considered to have exhausted COBRA continuation coverage if such coverage ceases:
(A) Due to the failure of the employer or other responsible entity to remit premiums on a timely basis;
(B) When the individual no longer resides, lives, or works in the service area of an HMO or similar program (whether or not within the choice of the individual) and there is no other COBRA continuation coverage available to the individual; or
(C) When the individual incurs a claim that would meet or exceed a lifetime limit on all benefits and there is no other COBRA continuation coverage available to the individual.
(c) Loss of coverage, as specified in subdivision (a)(1) of this section, does not include voluntary termination of coverage or loss due to:
