Health insurance gap after a layoff (update)

I have 13 weeks left on my current insurance and I am comparing options. There are 13 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I do not want a gap in coverage.

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.

A free navigator at a community health centre walked me through my options. It took an hour and saved me a lot of guessing.
