Consumer Assistance Resource Guides

Early evidence from across the nation suggests that consumer assisters are playing a vital role in helping people enroll in the new coverage options made possible by the Affordable Care Act. The State Health Reform Assistance Network has engaged with a number of states to develop easy-to-understand materials to educate consumer assisters about various issues that may confuse consumers and the assisters trying to help them during the eligibility determination and enrollment process. This series of resource guides, prepared by Manatt Health Solutions, were developed to help consumer assisters answer some of the most common eligibility and enrollment questions on the following topics: Minimum Essential Coverage; Household Composition Eligibility Rules; MAGI Household Income Eligibility Rules; and Immigrant Eligibility.
