Owens announces expanded Medicare Open Enrollment
From the Office of Congressman Bill Owens
Affordable Care Act provides Medicare recipients cheaper Rx, free preventive services
WASHINGTON – Congressman Bill Owens today announced Medicare’s Open Enrollment period that began this week and has been expanded to last seven weeks through Wednesday, December 7th. The expanded enrollment period will give seniors and those with disabilities more time to compare and find the best plan that meets their needs.
“Thanks to the recent health care law, New Yorkers are seeing more options as they choose their health care plans,” said Owens. “Additionally, the Affordable Care Act is closing the Medicare Part D ‘donut hole’ for seniors and providing recipients free preventive services that keep them out of the hospital and lower the nation’s health care costs.” Read more »

North Country Regional Economic Development Council urges completion of Consolidated Funding Application
Transformational projects to be considered for the Regional Council’s Strategic Plan must complete Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) by October 31st deadline
The North Country Regional Economic Development Council (NCREDC) strongly recommends that all proposals and suggestions being considered for the NCREDC’s Strategic Plan complete the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA). Economic development projects that have the potential to transform the North Country Region’s economy and who have already submitted their projects to the NCREDC must complete a CFA prior to the application deadline of October 31 in order to be eligible to access $1 billion in economic development funding from the State. This would include community based projects, as well as projects from private businesses. Once the CFA is submitted by the applicant, it goes to the local Regional Economic Development Council to be reviewed and ranked as part of its strategic planning process. Application materials and a guidebook are available online at http://nyworks.ny.gov. Read more »
