The State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services received a $384,408 Formula Grant under the Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program (CFDA 93.071) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL). This one-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, supports outreach, education, and application assistance to help Medicare beneficiaries, particularly those with limited incomes, access preventive, wellness, and other low-cost healthcare benefits.
The Department of Health Services sub-awarded portions of this funding to organizations such as the Greater Wisconsin Agency On Aging Resources, Inc. to implement local-level services, including providing Medicare enrollment counseling, conducting community outreach events, and assisting eligible individuals with applying for programs like the Medicare Savings Program and Part D Low-Income Subsidy. These sub-award activities aim to enhance Medicare beneficiary understanding of available benefits and improve access to essential medical services across the state of Wisconsin.
