New Health Connector Partner Resources
In order to best prepare Health Connector members and those who support them, a new webpage has been published at Partner Resources – Massachusetts Health Connector.
As the federal government has made changes to who qualifies for help paying for health insurance that will affect residents across Massachusetts beginning in 2026, the material available on this page is intended to serve as resources for policymakers, advocates, and partners navigating the changes resulting from changes in federal law. The material is designed to help residents educate themselves and others they work with or serve, so that we can avoid unnecessary loss of health insurance coverage in Massachusetts.
As you and your organization are active and trusted partners your communities, we hope that you will review this page, consider your specific audience needs, and promote the Health Connector’s message as needed throughout the Open Enrollment.
