New Jersey Health Insurance

Hello, long story short I was laid off back in January and didn’t rush to get new insurance since I’m young and overall healthy. I missed the cutoff for COBRA. I’ll be starting a new job soon but I won’t be offered insurance through them until September, so I’m looking to get on a catastrophic plan just to cover me in case of emergencies until September. Just found out today through GetCoveredNJ that I also need to have reported a life event within 60 days of it occurring, but January 31st was my last day with coverage which is over 60 days ago. I’ve been on unemployment since January and have no other income, and I’m over 25 so I can’t go on either of my parents’ plans. I’m also not married.

I’m having trouble finding other options online. Does anyone know of any suggestions or places to look where I can get something for the next couple of months? Ideally a low premium since I don’t plan on using it much if at all, but I would like the comfort of having something until I’m able to enroll in my company’s full insurance plan.
