2012 Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) County Data

2012 Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) County Data

PHS Act section 2719 requires non-grandfathered group health plans and health insurance issuers offering non-grandfathered health insurance coverage to provide relevant notices in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner.  The regulations implementing section 2719 require these plans and issuers to make certain accommodations for notices sent to an address in a county meeting a threshold percentage of people who are literate only in the same non-English language.  This threshold percentage is set at 10 percent or more of the population residing in the claimant’s county, as determined based on American Community Survey (ACS) data published by the United States Census Bureau. 26 CFR. §54.9815-2719T, 29 CFR. §2590.715-2719, and 45 CFR. §147.136.

The list below includes all counties which meet or exceed the 10 percent threshold for the 2006-2010 ACS data and is applicable for 2012.  This list will be updated annually.
