Important Skookum Notice
to Oregon Tribal members
Just a reminder from the friendly Save Our Skookum team: If you are an
Oregon resident, May is the last month to either get on the Oregon Health
Plan Reservation List (adults 19 and over), apply for Oregon Healthy Kids
(18 and under) or, if you believe you are over income, you may submit your
proof of income and your family size. If you have already done this, you
are good to GO! No further action is required.
Out-of-Oregon Tribal members, you'll be hearing from us soon.
Thank you!
