Navigator Grants
On September 12, the administration announced the award of $10 million (total) for 39 grants for “Navigators,” which help consumers select ACA health plans in states with federally-facilitated Exchanges. The total amount awarded reflects a decrease of 84 percent in Navigator funding since 2016. Three states (IA, MT, and NH) will have no federally-funded Navigators. See a state-by-state list of the Navigator awardees. CMS has also announced the commencement of Navigator training.
