TES Family Updates

December 2, 2022

We have the chance to support families in our community!

The holidays can be a stressful time for families and I invite you to help make someone's holiday a little brighter. TES has teamed up with Angel Baskets to collect items for families they are supporting this year. They have asked for the following donations for a special treat. If you can bring in an item, that would be a big help in filling these bags! We will have a big box for our donations on Monday! We will be collecting these all next week!

1 lb bag of popcorn

1 lb bag granola

14 oz can of hot chocolate

Telluride Truffle milk chocolate bar

8 oz bag of mixed nuts

8 oz bag of mixed dried fruit

4.5 oz hand soap

We appreciate your help!

Tri County Health can help with open enrollment when individuals and families can sign up for a health insurance plan through the Colorado Marketplace, Connect for Health Colorado. Individuals can apply between November 1 through December 15 for a January 1 effective date of coverage or til January 15 for coverage to start in February. Remember this is the only time of the year folks can sign up if they want commercial coverage for 2023, unless they have a life-changing event.

New this year is the OmniSalud option. This is a new program that provides the opportunity for Colorado's immigrant community to purchase affordable health insurance, regardless of their immigration status through Colorado Connect. Eligible individuals may even be able to access a $0/month premium plan with financial help. To qualify, an individual must earn no more than $1,699/month or a family of 4 must earn no more than $3,469/month. To apply copies of IDs and proof of income are not required. It is important to note that information collected during the enrollment process remains private and cannot be shared with any federal agency nor can it be used for immigration enforcement. This type of health insurance coverage and financial assistance are not considered when making public charge determinations.
