Are you in either Ohio or Kentucky and trying to understand the latest proposals related to Medicaid expansion? Families USA has two blog posts up this month which explains some of the ramifications of these proposals. In Ohio, CMS recently rejected the state’s request to amend its Medicaid program while Kentucky’s proposal is still pending and CMS is still seeking comments on it.

Are you looking for local partners to help with outreach to the disability community? The NDNRC is funding eighteen Community Outreach Collaboratives (COCs) for the third year of our project. This includes the eleven that were funded last year, plus seven new locations in six new states. The COCs increase collaborations in the community, dissemination and outreach efforts and enrollment of people with disabilities in the ACA. To find a COC, click here.
