USF garnered the largest navigator grant last year and is receieving more than $500,000 more this time out with the new grant totaling $5,912,400.

“USF and its trusted and independent team of navigators have established a successful model for the nation to follow and as a result helped Florida lead the nation last year in the number of sign-ups for the Affordable Care Act," said Castor. “This grant will build upon on our past successful enrollment efforts to assist consumers in selecting the best quality, health care plan for themselves and their families.”
