Georgia Legal Services Program ("GLSP") is requesting $449,423 of continuation funding for Year 3 of the Cooperative Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally-Facilitated Exchanges to help individuals prepare applications to establish eligibility and enroll in coverage through the Exchanges. GLSP's Georgia ENROLL program allows six full-time, paid, federally trained and certified Navigators to provide direct education to individuals regarding federally-facilitated exchanges, deliver targeted assistance to underserved and vulnerable populations, and increase awareness and accessibility of affordable insurance programs. We will deliver these services directly, and no entities will receive grant funds as sub-Recipients or sub-Awardees through this award. Our project area consists of the following 154 Georgia counties which GLSP serves: Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Baker, Baldwin, Banks, Barrow, Bartow, Ben Hill, Berrien, Bibb, Bleckley, Brantley, Brooks, Bryan, Bulloch, Burke, Butts, Calhoun, Camden, Candler, Carroll, Catoosa, Charlton, Chatham, Chattahoochee, Chattooga, Cherokee, Clarke, Clay, Clinch, Coffee, Colquitt, Columbia, Cook, Coweta, Crawford, Crisp, Dade, Dawson, Decatur, Dodge, Dooly, Dougherty, Douglas, Early, Echols, Effingham, Elbert, Emanuel Evans, Fannin, Fayette, Floyd, Forsyth, Franklin, Gilmer, Glascock, Glynn, Gordon, Grady, Greene, Habersham, Hall, Hancock, Haralson, Harris, Hart, Heard, Henry, Houston, Irwin, Jackson, Jasper, Jeff Davis, Jefferson, Jenkins, Johnson, Jones, Lamar, Lanier, Laurens, Lee, Liberty, Lincoln, Long, Lowndes, Lumpkin, Macon, Madison, Marion, McDuffie, McIntosh, Meriwether, Miller, Mitchell, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Murray, Muscogee, Newton, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Paulding, Peach, Pickens, Pierce, Pike, Polk, Pulaski, Putnam, Quitman, Rabun, Randolph, Richmond, Rockdale, Schley, Screven, Seminole, Spalding, Stephens, Stewart, Sumter, Talbot, Taliaferro, Tattnall, Taylor, Telfair, Terrell, Thomas, Tift, Toombs, Towns, Treutlen, Troup, Turner, Twiggs, Union, Upson, Walker, Walton, Ware, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Webster, Wheeler, White, Whitfield, Wilcox, Wilkes, Wilkinson, and Worth. Our target population includes the uninsured, ethnic minorities, low-income individuals, women with children, pregnant women, new mothers, women fleeing domestic violence, people with physical or intellectual disabilities, people with mental health disorders, Medicaid-eligible consumers who are not enrolled in coverage despite being eligible for Medicaid, and individuals who are losing Medicaid coverage as a result of Medicaid unwinding but are eligible for coverage under plans available through the Marketplace. The Project Director of Georgia ENROLL, the Assistant Project Director/Lead Navigator, and at least three additional full-time, paid Navigators will be certified or re-certified by October 1, 2023. At least on additional full-time, paid Navigator will be federally trained and certified during open enrollment. A total of at least six full-time, paid, federally trained and certified Navigators will be in place from January 16, 2024 - August 26,2024.
