  • The Community Service Society of New York and 13 Business-Serving Groups Launch First-in-Nation Small Business Health Coverage Assistance Program

    New York, NY - After a highly competitive procurement process, The Community Service Society (CSS) today announced over half a million dollars in grant awards to 13 business-serving groups to help small businesses in their communities with health care and health insurance problems. CSS received bids from more than 30 groups vying for funding.

    Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), states can set up Health Insurance Exchanges, or marketplaces, where individuals and small businesses can shop for and enroll into health coverage. To help ensure that New York’s Small Business Exchange best meets the needs of New York’s employers and employees, CSS is launching a pilot Small Business Assistance Program to educate small businesses about the health reform law, address their current insurance coverage needs and help inform the design and development of the State’s Small Business Exchange.

    “This is a new and innovative program to target and support small businesses as they make their way through the bewildering morass of our health care system” said David R. Jones, President and CEO of The Community Service Society. “New York’s small businesses will have an advocate on their side.”
