Formula Grant 2501LAMISH

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded a $415,277 Formula Grant under the Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program (CFDA 93.071) to the Louisiana Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs (GOEA). The grant, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027, supports GOEA's efforts to provide enhanced outreach, education, and application assistance to Medicare beneficiaries in Louisiana, particularly those with limited incomes and assets. The grant funding enables GOEA to conduct community outreach, offer one-on-one enrollment counseling, and help eligible individuals apply for Medicare cost-reduction programs such as the Medicare Part D Low Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Programs. As the state's primary administrative agency for coordinating and delivering comprehensive services to seniors, GOEA leverages this Formula Grant to improve access to critical healthcare and financial support for Louisiana's Medicare beneficiary population.
