Employment Security Department obtained a Workforce Investment
Act (WIA) National Emergency Grant (NEG) to assist eligible Trade
Act participants with their health insurance premiums during the
time it takes the IRS to process their HCTC application.
The Gap grant will pay 65% of your monthly health insurance
premium until you receive your first invoice bill from the IRS HCTC
program. You must meet the same IRS eligibility requirements of:
- Receiving unemployment insurance benefits,
or TRA benefits, or the older
worker wage subsidy program and
- On a COBRA or Washington
State Basic Health plan, or enrolled in a
insurance plan 30 days prior to last day of work or
on a spouses plan from work.
To apply for this health insurance assistance, you need to be
enrolled in Trade Act services through WorkSource. To request to
speak with a Trade Act counselor, contact your local
WorkSource office.
