Apple Health for COFA islanders!

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, (Sec. 208) restored Apple Health (Medicaid) to Washington residents from the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. This means that Compact of Free Association (COFA) islanders can apply for free or low-cost coverage at any time throughout the year.
