| NEW CHARLESTON POLL: Americans Want #ActionNotWords |
| While some Republican candidates are demonstrating a real profile in courage by obscuring their positions on the Confederate flag, America has made up its mind.

This important policy was released on May 6, 2015 by the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) in their weekly “assister newsletter” that gives guidance on ACA enrollment to Navigators and in-person assisters. This is formal CCIIO guidance—but the language has not yet been updated on healthcare.gov. The update should happen soon—but the policy is already in place.
To enroll, these consumers should call the Marketplace Call Center and share that they were a “survivor of DV”. It is important to use the phrase “survivor of DV” as it will help the Call Center initiate the appropriate process. The Call Center representative will be able…
