Last update: 5 hours agoSummer EBT: Guam’s Department of Public Health and Social Services says federal approval is in place for 2026 Summer EBT (SUN Bucks), with $6,540,480 awarded—up from 2025—so eligible school-age children can get one-time grocery benefits of $180 (monthly $60). Insurance access: Guam Regional Medical City will stop accepting TakeCare Insurance starting Sept. 9, meaning TakeCare members will be treated as self-pay for GRMC services after that date. Local health transparency: A Guam bill would require doctors to disclose whether they practice privately, for the government, or both, and whether they carry malpractice insurance for private care—aimed at improving informed consent. Public health outreach: DPHSS plans a free back-to-school immunization clinic July 10 for uninsured children ages 4–18 and those covered by Medicaid or MIP. Care and coverage abroad: A new report highlights a common Medicare gap for Original Medicare beneficiaries traveling outside the U.S., where coverage can be extremely limited.
