Health insurance gap after a layoff after 8 years as an electrician's helper

I have 8 weeks left on my current insurance and I am comparing options. It has been a long 2 weeks. I do not want a gap in coverage. Is there help filling out the forms?

Losing job-based coverage usually opens a special enrolment window, so check the deadline on the official marketplace site. I missed it by a day once and regretted it.
