I've updated our page about Medigap "birthday rules" www.medicareresources.org/medicare-eli...
— UT and VA both have birthday rules taking effect soon.
— WY has a proposal awaiting the governor's signature.
— IN has passed legislation that hasn't yet been signed into law.

Medigap plan changes are limited, but 11 states offer Medigap enrollees special enrollment – and five do it with a 'birthday rule.'
