Helpful tips for screen reader users
Navigating to the Main Content
The main content area of the page can be reached by either using the "skip to main content" link at the top of the page, by navigating to the heading level 1, or by using the screen reader function keys to go to the main landmark region.
Headings
The content on pages is organized by headings. Headings can be used to navigate to the major sections of the page in order to easily scan the content using the functions within the screen readers. To view a list of headings on the page
- Press Insert and F6 in JAWS; NVDA key, and F7 in NVDA,; and
- Control, Option and U keys in VoiceOver
Phone Numbers, Birth Dates, Social Security Number, and ZIP Code
The phone number, birth date, Social Security number and ZIP code fields require data to be in a specific format. You cannot enter text in these fields unless it is in the correct format. For example:
- Only numerical values can be entered in the ZIP code field. You cannot enter a letter in the ZIP code field. ZIP codes should be entered as a 5-digit number.
- Phone numbers must be entered with 3-digit area code, 3-digit prefix, and 4-digit number. Only numbers should be typed in this field. Do not put parentheses or dashes in the phone number.
- Required dates, such as birth dates, should be entered with the 2-digit month followed by the 2-digit day and the 4-digit year. Only numbers should be typed in this field. Do not add dashes, slashes, spaces, or any other characters.
- Social Security numbers should be entered with numbers only. Do not add dashes, spaces, or any other characters.
Forms
Due to a limitation in some screen readers, the full question text may not be read when navigating from form field to form field with the tab key. To read the full text, use the screen reader reading keys (CTRL+Up Arrow in JAWS and NVDA and VO+Shift+Page Up in Voiceover) to move to the question text above the form field. After reading the text, press tab to get back to the form field and fill in the data.
If an error occurs on the page, there will be an error message at the start of the main content (right after the navigation links). Each form field that has an error is also indicated and the screen reader will say "invalid entry" if the form field has an error.
Selecting Health and Dental Plans
The health and dental plans are displayed in tabular (or table) format that can be sorted using the links on the table headers. If there are more than 10 results, more results can be shown using the next and previous links that are located before the table.
The quick plan filters provide options to select the dollar amount range for the monthly premium and annual deductibles, select the carrier, and select the coverage area. The slider controls to select the dollar amount range currently do not work fully with the keyboard in all browsers. To adjust the values, use the page up or page down key to increase or decrease the value by 200 dollars and the arrow keys to adjust by one cent.
Eligibility Screen
The links on the eligibility screen to edit and view details currently do not work with the keyboard. If you need to edit or view the details of your application, please call the help desk for assistance at 1-833-862-3935 (TTY: 711).
