Assister Dedicated Call Center Line
- Similar to the previous open enrollments, there will once again be a designated call center line for Assisters. This line will allow Assisters to bypass the regular call center line and avoid waiting in the queue.The special assister line phone number is: 855-868-4678. The call center team is still working to program in everyone’s unique codes, but by the end of next week (November 6th) your Navigators will be able to begin using this number. Your project officer will let you know when this line is fully operational.In preparation for the line to go live, I’ve attached the organizational code assignments. For those of you who were with us last year, you code is the same and for all grantees, we used one of the primary numbers associated with your organization to create the 10-digit code. If you need a refresher on what your code is, or if you’re a new grantee and never received a code, you can find it by organization name on the attached.
