Dear Friend,

Thanksgiving is a time for us to gather with our families and loved ones and pause to count our blessings. As we enjoy our Thanksgiving meals, we should remember those who are not as fortunate and those who remain in need. We should also all remember those who cannot be with their families because they are protecting our country overseas, as well as those veterans who have done so in the past. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Go Tigers! Go Grizz!

Join My Telephone Town Hall on Monday, November 30th

On Monday evening, November 30th, at 6:30PM CT I will host a telephone town hall to answer your questions and discuss a variety of topics you feel are important to Tennessee’s 9th District. If you would like to participate in this telephone town hall on Monday, November 30th, please fill out the form here with your home phone number – unfortunately, we are unable to call cell phones.

Helping Memphians Get Covered

The HealthCare.gov insurance marketplace has opened for 2016 plan shopping and comparisons. While the current shopping period runs until January 31, 2016, December 15, 2015 is the deadline to enroll in coverage that will take effect on January 1, 2016. You can visit https://bit.ly/hcSavings to see if you qualify for tax credits that will be applied as discounts on your monthly insurance premium. If you already have insurance coverage through the HealthCare.gov marketplace, your plan will be automatically renewed for 2016, but you should still visit HealthCare.gov to update your information, ensure you receive the full tax credit to which you are entitled, and review new options as cheaper insurance plans that better fit your needs may now be available.

If you are on Medicare or your employer offers qualified health insurance in which you are enrolled, you're already covered and won't need to enter the Marketplace for your health coverage. If you aren't sure whether or not you should use the Marketplace to get insurance, call the Marketplace Hotline at (800) 318-2596, visit HealthCare.gov, or call the healthcare navigator Seedco at (901) 255-2955. You can also call my office at (901) 544-4131 or the Marketplace Hotline to find out if TennCare (Tennessee's Medicaid program) is a coverage option for you.

Bringing Congress to your Corner

On Friday, December 11 from 12pm to 2pm, my office will hold “Congress on your Corner” office hours at the Orange Mound Community Center at 2572 Park Ave. If you have questions or problems with Social Security, Medicare, FHA, the VA or any other federal agencies, my staff will be on hand to answer questions and provide assistance. We hope you can make it.

2016 U.S. Capitol Historical Society Calendars Are Available

My office currently has a limited number of 2016 U.S. Capitol Historical Society calendars available. If you would like to receive a calendar, please complete this form on my website. Due to the rules of the House, I am only able to mail calendars to residents of Tennessee’s 9th District. Please feel free to share this email with other residents of the 9th District who may be interested in receiving one but who do not receive my eNewsletter.

As always, I remain.
Most sincerely,
