Affordable Care Act Open Enrollment is November 1 through December 15, 2019. Is your library ready?
Though the Affordable Care Act isn't new, it's still a technological hurdle that some people are not ready to leap. To get assistance with that required online sign up, many community members will turn to their friendly and welcoming public library for help. Make sure you and your co-staff are ready. To better help us help our people, the American Library Association's publication American Libraries has compiled a Libraries Connecting You to Coverage resource guide for library professionals. Though this resource is specifically tailored to states on the federal marketplace--which doesn't include Wisconsin--you're sure to find something new to help you serve your patrons in need of health coverage, including a handy checklist for re-enrollment.
To learn more about what other libraries are doing to educate their communities about insurance enrollment, attend the Public Library Association's upcoming Libraries Connecting You to Coverage webinar on November 19 at 1:00 PM Central Time. You can also view PLA's on-demand Libraries Connecting You to Coverage webinars featuring small and large libraries across the country.
