My name is Carol Harr and I serve as Rapid Response liaison for the TAA Program in Colorado.

Many times, I am the first person employers and employees have contact with concerning the TAA Program and its benefits.  The HCTC program is one of those benefits.

The HCTC program is always one where a lot of interest is shown.  Employees facing a layoff have many concerns, and healthcare is a major one. 

When employees hear that they may be eligible to have 80% of their insurance premiums covered, their relief is actually felt in the room.

The HCTC brochure is an important piece of literature for them.  This gives the employees something physical to take away with them and has the information they need to access the program.

A representative from the HCTC team in Washington, DC spoke at our annual state TAA conference.  This gave our TAA counselors good information on the program, and the opportunity to ask questions and discuss concerns.

The HCTC team is always striving to find ways to dispense information about the program and address any concerns as they arise.
