Stories from the Ground • A 47-year-old single mother from Dover who also cares for her grandchildren re-enrolled with Westside. She was eligible for a tax credit of $395 a month plus cost sharing, choosing a silver Highmark plan for $37.14 a month. • During a Coverage to Care Workshop on Palm Sunday at Iglesia De Dios Maranatha in Seaford, a Chatman navigator was able to enroll two parishioners through a Special Enrollment Period. The church’s pastor wants Chatman to come back for a full-day workshop. • A 30-year-old man and his wife from Claymont enrolled through an SEP with Westside. They qualified for a $566 tax credit and chose a silver Aetna plan with a monthly premium of $107.87. They were very happy because the QHP has no deductible and a low monthly premium. 24
