The Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs received a $219,423 Formula Grant award under the Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program (CFDA 93.071) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will support outreach, education, and application assistance to help eligible Medicare beneficiaries in Massachusetts access preventive, wellness, and limited income benefits, including Medicare Part D's Low Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Programs. The funding will enable the agency to conduct community-based outreach, provide one-on-one enrollment counseling, and promote disease prevention and wellness initiatives to enhance Medicare beneficiaries' understanding and utilization of available healthcare programs and services. As the designated state-level agency responsible for supporting older adults in Massachusetts, the Executive Office of Elder Affairs will leverage this grant to deliver critical assistance to the state's senior population, particularly those with limited incomes, in accessing affordable and comprehensive Medicare coverage.
