Good afternoon:

This is an important - and exciting - time of year. The Affordable Care 
Act's 2019 open enrollment period runs through December 15, and Governor 
Murphy is leading New Jersey's first coordinated public awareness campaign 
to encourage residents to sign up for affordable health care. We have the 
chance to make a real difference in the lives of many New Jersey residents, 
and I'm hoping you can help.

The Murphy Administration has created 
www.GetCovered.NJ.gov<http://www.GetCovered.NJ.gov> to serve as a portal for 
individuals seeking health coverage. The site includes information about 
plan options, financial assistance and contact information for New Jerseyans 
who want help to get covered. Please take a moment to explore the options 
available and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same.

As part of this effort, the Department of Human Services is also working 
with five community organizations to support enrollment efforts. These 
organizations are providing application assistance and organizing outreach 
events. Let them know if you need help enrolling. The organizations are:


*         The Center for Family Services (1-877-922-2377)

*         The Family Resource Network (1-800-355-0271)

*         The Oranges ACA Navigator Project (1-973-500-6031)

*         Fulfill Monmouth & Ocean (1-732-918-2600 or 1-732-731-1400)

*         Urban League of Hudson County (1-201-451-8888, ext. 217)

Please feel free to reach out to these organizations or direct others to 
them for assistance. They are here to help.  New Jerseyans can also call 1- 
877-9-NAVIG8 (877-962-8448) to talk about health insurance options and get 
help enrolling.

By working together, I'm confident we can help improve the lives of so many 
of our residents who are looking for affordable health care options. We can 
make a real difference in the weeks ahead. Let's get covered NJ!

Sincerely,

Carole Johnson
Commissioner
New Jersey Department of Human Services
