The Everett Haitian Community Center (The EHCC) is informing the municipality, Law enforcement, schools, organizations, the media, faith communities and other stakeholders in Everett regarding an outreach and education campaign they will be undertaking about changes to MassHealth coverage. This campaign is in partnership with HCFA.
MassHealth members have not had to renew their coverage since March 2020, because of protections put in place by the federal government as part of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Those protections ended on April 1, 2023. This means that all MassHealth members will need to reapply in order to keep their health insurance coverage. The majority of our school students, families / residents are covered by MassHealth. The EHCC is one of the many organizations collaborating with HCFA who is launching an education campaign and working to make sure our residents are aware of the need to reapply.
Please note that part of our outreach and educational campaign will include tabling, meetings, faith -based outreach, encounters in neighborhoods, and other activities by the EHCC team members and partner. We will be handing out brochures, flyers and magnets, which are in nine languages to help MassHealth members understand how to renew their coverage and how to get assistance. We will be posting and sharing the information throughout the campaign and ask that you share it as well.
