Stafford awarded $36,000 grant to insure children

Stafford, Va. –– Two local organizations have been awarded grant money to help insure children without health insurance.

Through a special grant between Virginia and the Stafford County Head Start Program, children up to age 19 are now eligible to receive comprehensive health coverage, according to Virginia’s Project Connect.

Under the rules of the program, the children must live in households with incomes at 200 percent of the federal poverty level, which is $44,100 for a family of four, to be eligible to receive the insurance.
