My name is Daryl Payne and I am your Peer Advocate.
I'm here to help you connect to the services you need.
The Health Coverage Tax Credit can be used without going to school, but will only last up to 18 months after your laid-off date. If you have not received the packet you need to call 1-503-947-1326 and let them know. Dave Carpenter is who you need to talk to. You want to ask him if you are on the icon report that was sent to the IRS. If you are having trouble filling out the HCTC packet call Donna or Sheryl (Zenith Administrators) at 1-888-286-3169. They will send you instructions and answers for filling out the form.
If anyone would like to be involved in a work shop please email me at this link, Daryl Payne. |
