| National
Association of Service and Conservation Corps (NASCC) contact
Chris Rooney at 1-800-456-1415. Since Serve Wisconsin is a member of
NASCC, AmeriCorps programs can access the health insurance plan
without needing to join NASCC. |

|
| *SRC
and NASCC are the two more commonly used policies by Wisconsin AmeriCorps
programs. A couple of organizations use their own health care providers,
but SRC and NASCC offer plans that cover the minimum requirements at a
reasonable rate. Serve Wisconsin doesn't endorse any particular provider;
we're just concerned that the policy cover the minimum requirements
outlined in the AmeriCorps regulations. |
