ACA / Obamacare question...Do I need to UN-enroll? I now have health insurance

...for my kids through work. Previously they were on ACA and I keep getting emails reminding me to enroll for the coming year.

Do I need to un-enroll or something?

I had it the first year and got Medicare in the middle of the year. I think I just needed to drop the insurance with the insurance company.
But don't take my word. Call the ACA 800 number or your state ACA and ask them.

I sort of missed your real question - I still get reminders every year at open enrollment time that I just ignore.
Call them.

Of course you can notify the ACA that you no longer need the coverage...that would be the neat and tidy way to handle the situation. I went from an ACA policy to Medicare (as I turned 65) and there was nothing to do with the ACA.
