MI Bridges Renewal Training (October 2020) - The benefits renewal process is now simpler for food, health care, child care and cash assistance clients with the rollout of new, streamlined benefits renewal form. Project Re:New improves client experience across four largest assistance programs as more families and individuals need help. In addition to the updated benefits renewal process, there were updates made to MI Bridges to assist MI Bridges Navigators to assist clients with their renewals. This webinar will explain the updates.
This webinar will cover 3 coverage options available in Michigan: Marketplace, Medicaid, and Medicare. We will provide an overview of the basics for these three options: when to apply, where to apply, where to find free help, etc.
This webinar will provide an overview on what a consumer should consider when choosing a Marketplace plan like how advanced premium tax credit (APTC) and cost sharing reductions (CSR) can impact costs, what's covered, and the differences between the metal categories (bronze, silver, and gold).
If you are new to Medicare, you need to know what kind of coverage a client wants. There are several options like ice cream… chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry. If clients want drug coverage for the new year they may have as many as 40 options depending on where they live. If they kept their plan from last year their drug costs could be $9,000. If they compare options, the costs would be $1,200 for 2021. Learn the things to look for.
Once a client has been approved for health care coverage/Medicaid, this webinar will discuss the ways a client can choose a health plan.
