Dear Colleagues,

OCS recently learned that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is hosting a webinar on May 25 at 12 p.m. EDT for all organizations that serve or interface with people that have health insurance through Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Attached you will find a Dear Colleague Letter which outlines actions Administration for Children and Families (ACF) grant recipients can take to help families avoid losing health care coverage. The DCL provides links to communication resources in English and Spanish, as well as registration information for a CMS webinar on May 25 at 12 p.m. EDT.

We encourage you to have at least one organizational representative participate to receive this valuable information that impacts the individuals and families we serve.

Thank you for your attention to these matters. OCS looks forward to continuing to provide high-quality services to OCS partners.

/s/
Dr. Lanikque Howard
