The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living awarded the South Carolina Department on Aging a $286,700 Formula Grant under the Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program (CFDA 93.071). This grant aims to provide enhanced outreach, education, and application assistance to eligible Medicare beneficiaries regarding their preventive, wellness, and limited income benefits, including the Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Programs.
The grant supports state-level efforts to conduct community outreach, provide one-on-one enrollment counseling, and assist Medicare beneficiaries, particularly Native American elders and individuals with limited incomes, in accessing critical healthcare benefits. The South Carolina Department on Aging sub-awards portions of this funding to regional councils of government, area agencies on aging, and non-profit organizations across the state to deliver these services at the local level.
