When you receive an Uncovered Zip Warning while attempting to submit a SAD plan, what is the recommended course of action?

When you see an Uncovered Zip Warning during SAD plan submission, the system is flagging a ZIP code as not covered in your plan data. The best next step is to reach out to CSS directly for assistance. They have access to your account’s ZIP coverage information and can confirm whether the ZIP should be considered covered, update the ZIP data if needed, and guide you through correcting the issue so the submission can proceed correctly. Trying to re-run the submission after updating ZIP data without CSS guidance can lead to the same warning if the data isn’t aligned with your account, and ignoring the warning or continuing with submission would risk submitting an invalid plan. A local post office isn’t the right resource for this internal data validation, as it’s about how ZIP coverage is recorded in your SAD plan rather than mail routing.
