Are current staff now dedicated to outreach and enrollment able to be paid out of O/E grant funds? Answer: Yes. 3. Must health center O/E assistance workers who are not newly hired with O/E supplemental funds complete CAC training? Yes. Regardless of whether a health center O/E assistance worker is directly supported by O/E supplemental funds, FFM and SPM health center staff, volunteers, or contracted individuals performing outreach and enrollment activities must, at a minimum, be trained as a CAC. Likewise, if your organization did not receive O/E assistance funding (e.g., you are a look-alike or did not apply for O/E supplemental funds) and you want to provide enrollment assistance, all health center O/E assistance workers must, at a minimum, be trained as a CAC. If you are unsure about if or what 2 additional training is required in your state, contact your primary care association. Contact information for the PCA in your state can be located at http://bphc.hrsa.gov/technicalassistance/partnerlinks/associations.html.
