US consumer deadlines that count 60 days
- Credit card billing errors. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, you generally have 60 days from the date the statement was sent to dispute a billing error in writing. A statement dated before Thursday, August 6, 2026 may be outside that window.
- Debit card and bank transfer errors. Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, reporting unauthorized transactions within 60 days of your statement helps limit your liability. Waiting longer can leave you responsible for more of the loss.
- Health coverage. After losing job-based coverage, you usually have at least 60 days to elect COBRA. After most life events, such as moving or having a baby, you have 60 days for a Marketplace special enrollment period.
Checking whether you are still in time
For any 60-day rule, find the exact start date first: the statement date, the date coverage ended, or the date of the life event. Then count forward 60 days, or check whether that start date is on or after Thursday, August 6, 2026. If it is, you are probably still within the window.
These are general descriptions, not legal advice. Your card issuer, bank or health plan can confirm the exact deadline for your situation.
