Medicaid Re-enrollment
Is your worshiping community doing a back-to-school backpack give away? If so, please consider placing flyers in the backpack to remind parents that to keep their child on Medicaid they must re-enroll. Thousands of Georgians have already lost their Medicaid healthcare coverage—perhaps because they didn’t know. Please contact the Georgia Interfaith Public Policy Center (gippc.org) to get pdfs of flyers from the state of Georgia in English and in Spanish to place in the backpacks
