7. Grass roots outreach by local coalitions such as attendance at local kindergarten registration events; local promotional events (e.g., providing application assistance booth during school carnival).
The Campaign’s efforts to assist individuals in enrolling include:
1. HelpLine—Maintenance of a statewide toll free HelpLine where trained workers: a.) inform callers of coverage options and assist with application or reenrollment process; b.) provide information about application assistance sites or other appropriate services/programs in the geographical area; c.) serve as resource to hundreds of sites the Campaign has trained to provide application assistance.
2. Expanded Application Capacity—Maintenance and expansion of statewide sites available to provide applications and application assistance (including reenrollment).
The Campaign also gathers information from constituencies, local coalitions, technical trainings, and HelpLine calls to identify problems or barriers families are encountering in accessing or continuing coverage for their children.
