NEW BLOG POST ON PROPOSED HHS RULES

Yesterday, we posted a summary of the new proposed HHS rules on our blog. The blog reviews what the new requirements will be for navigator organizations in areas of auxiliary aids, sign language interpreters, building accessibility and more. To read the summary on our blog, click here. To read last week’s news item on the release of the new rules which includes links to the proposed rules click here.

The national office of Easter Seals is doing research to collect information about how the benefits in the Affordable Care Act are working in the real world. This project is seeking information about the experience of individuals who have purchased insurance plans through the exchanges in six states: Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Texas. To read more about the survey and to access the link, check out our news item here. The deadline for the survey is Tuesday, September 15, 2015.

As we reported previously, Montana is looking to expand Medicaid. However, this expansion is not a traditional expansion and it requires approval from CMS. This week, the Kaiser Family Foundation released a fact sheet that goes over the details of the plan. To read our news item on the Montana Medicaid expansion and to access the Kaiser fact sheet, click here. The fact sheet is also available on the Montana state page under “State Specific Resources.”

Are you looking for local partners to help with outreach to the disability community? The NDNRC has funded eleven Community Outreach Collaboratives (COCs) for the second year of enrollment. The COCs will increase collaborations in the community, dissemination and outreach efforts and enrollment of people with disabilities in the ACA. To find a COC, click here.
