State Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Chicago, is inviting residents to a Medicaid Enrollment event Aug. 27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Northeastern Illinois University’s El Centro campus, 3390 N. Avondale Ave. in Chicago, in partnership with state Reps. Will Guzzardi and Jaime Andrade, state Sens. Omar Aquino and Cristina Pacione-Zayas and Chicago Ald. Carlos Rosa. Because of new laws proposed and championed by Rep. Ramirez, which expanded healthcare access in Illinois, Medicaid enrollment is now available to anyone in Illinois aged 42 or older who earns under 138 percent of the federal poverty guideline, regardless of their immigration status. Walk-in appointments will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability. However, those wishing to attend the event are strongly encouraged to make an appointment in advance by calling 312-620-7592. Attendees should also bring the following documents: identification, proof of income and proof of household size. Those having difficulty obtaining all these documents should keep their appointment and bring what they have. Ramirez’s constituent service office is reachable at 773-799-8219 or info@repdeliaramirez.com.
