IMPORTANT INFORMATION

STOP THE SPREAD!

The Commonwealth is launching a strategic testing program in communities across Massachusetts that have continued to see a higher number of residents testing positive for COVID-19. This program will support the testing of asymptomatic individuals in these communities to help stop the spread of COVID-19. If you are a resident of one of these communities, even if you have no COVID symptoms, please get tested to help stop the spread.

The Commonwealth urges residents of these communities to get tested for COVID-19: Brockton, Chelsea, Everett, Fall River, Framingham, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lynn, Marlborough, Methuen, New Bedford, Randolph, Revere, Salem, Saugus, Springfield, Winthrop, and Worcester.

This testing is free for all Massachusetts residents. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE STATE OF MA WEBSITE - ALL SPRINGFIELD LOCATIONS CAN SUPPORT SPANISH SPEAKERS! mass.gov/info-details/stop-the-spread

Medical Support

All health insurance carriers are required to provide medically necessary telehealth, testing, counseling, treatment, and vaccination (once it’s developed and available) services related to COVID-19 to all Massachusetts residents without charging copays and coinsurance or applying a deductible.

The Massachusetts Health Connector opened a special enrollment period until April 25th for uninsured residents to sign up for health care coverage. Learn more here. You can also get your health care questions answered by the AG’s Health Care Division.

You will not be turned away from the emergency room because of your immigration status. If you are undocumented and need healthcare, you may be eligible for MassHealth Limited, which provides care for medical emergencies, including visits to an emergency room. Public charge does not apply to MassHealth Limited. Visit the MA Connector website or call 1-800-841-2900 for English and Spanish service.

Cash Assistance

United Way has launched a COVID-19 Family Support Fund to provide a flexible source of cash assistance to help families weather the crisis. One-time grants of up to $2000 will be made to help families impacted by the COVID-19 crisis meet their basic food, childcare or housing needs. Individuals in Massachusetts can dial 2-1-1 for comprehensive information and referrals related to the virus, including information on where they can access flexible funds through the COVID-19 Family Support Fund.

The Restaurant Strong Fund is providing $1000 to impacted “full-time tipped compensated employees” who worked in a restaurant, bar, cafe or nightclub in Massachusetts. Waiters, waitresses, bartenders and other tipped workers should apply here.

One Fair Wage is providing cash assistance to restaurant workers, car service drivers, delivery workers, personal service workers and more who need the money they aren’t getting to survive. Apply for help here.

In this time of crisis, Restaurant Opportunities Centers United is providing resources and financial assistance to restaurant workers impacted by the coronavirus crisis.

Protecting Workers

Congress passed legislation establishing a federal emergency paid-leave benefits program to provide payments to some employees. It requires private employers with fewer than 500 employees – and all public employers – to provide two weeks’ worth of paid sick leave if employees are unable to work because they’re subject to quarantine or isolation, are experiencing symptoms of COVID–19, or are caring for someone who is in quarantine or isolation. For self-care, you can earn the full amount you are usually paid, up to a maximum of $511 a day ($5,110 total). If you’re caring for someone else, you can receive $200 per day ($2,000 total). Certain employers may be exempt, including businesses with fewer than 50 employees, as well as employers of health care providers and emergency responders.

Additionally, the law grants 12 weeks of emergency paid family leave to employees caring for children whose schools are closed or whose child care provider is unavailable because of coronavirus. The first ten days may be unpaid. For the subsequent leave, you can earn two-thirds of your usual pay, up to a daily limit of $200 per day ($10,000 total). In order to qualify, you must have been on the job for 30 days and work for an employer with fewer than 500 employees. Certain employers may be exempt, including businesses with fewer than 50 employees, as well as employers of health care providers and emergency responders.
