From the Governor's Desk


 

Governor Holcomb announced additional steps that are being taken to protect
Hoosiers impacted by the coronavirus.

 

* All state agencies are evaluating rules and regulations that should be
suspended or modified to assist Hoosiers during this public emergency.
* Governor Holcomb signed an executive order to lift regulations on
commercial vehicles transporting goods to retailers, some of which are running
short on supplies.
* Hoosiers who need to renew their Medicaid eligibility will get more time to
complete the process. No services will be interrupted.
* Family Social Services Administration (FSSA) has asked federal officials to
approve a request to temporarily waive the renewal process for Hoosiers who
need SNAP or TANF benefits.
* Hoosiers on Medicaid will not pay co-pays for COVID-19 testing.
* Hoosiers on Medicaid can get 90-day refills of medication for chronic
conditions.
* State officials are collaborating with the Indiana Department of Education
to discuss solutions regarding student assessments and meals for children whose
schools have closed.
* FSSA has given daycares specific guidance to protect children in their care.
* Community meals for senior citizens are being converted to home meal
deliveries. Local partners, such as Area Agencies on Aging, have been given
funding flexibility to cover the added costs of delivering meals. Thousands of
meals are being served daily.
* Every community has a child care resource and referral agency to connect
parents with local child care options and provide referrals for support.
Families can find their local Child Care Resource and Referral by calling
800-299-1627 or by consultingthis map.
