BILLING CODE 4163-18-P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Health Resources and Services Administration Delta States Rural Development Network Grant Program AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice of Class Deviation from Competition Requirements for Delta States Rural Development Network Grant Program. SUMMARY: The Office of Rural Health Policy
(ORHP)is announcing supplemental awards to the current Delta States Rural Development Network Grant Program (Delta States) grantees. The supplemental funds will allow current Delta grantees to implement outreach and enrollment activities to the rural uninsured in the Mississippi Delta for the next Affordable Care Act's
(ACA)Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period (November 15, 2014—February 15, 2015). In addition, it will help educate the newly insured about the insurance and benefits they can now access as a result of enrolling during the initial Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment period. The overarching goals of this supplemental funding are to:
(1)increase the number of uninsured educated about their coverage options,
(2)increase the number of uninsured enrolled into the Health Insurance Marketplaces or other available sources of insurance, such as Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, and
(3)increase the number of newly insured individuals educated about the benefits and primary care and preventative services to which they now have access.
