The GetCoveredNYC Outreach Team from Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Public Engagement Unit will be partnering on a day of action with the Center for Faith and Community Partnerships, Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit, City Commission on Human Rights, ThriveNYC and the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs to enroll 50,000 New Yorkers in health insurance in 2017.
With an open enrollment deadline of January 31, the GetCoveredNYC Outreach Team is making a large push during the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend to schedule New Yorkers for a free in-person enrollment appointment.
The GetCoveredNYC program focuses on enrolling more New Yorkers in health insurance and providing them with access to primary and preventative care at public Health + Hospitals facilities. To enroll, applicants only need to bring a Social Security Number or Tax ID Number, proof of income and proof of residence.
Over the weekend, GetCoveredNYC specialists will attend events at eight houses of worship and two community-based organizations citywide in areas with a high number of uninsured New Yorkers.
New Yorkers can also call 311 or text CoveredNYC to 877 877 for a free in-person enrollment appointment near them.
