The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services received a $373,330 Formula Grant from the Administration on Aging under the Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program (CFDA 93.071) effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027. This award supports enhanced outreach and enrollment assistance to eligible Medicare beneficiaries, with particular emphasis on individuals with limited incomes and assets. The program funds activities designed to inform beneficiaries about preventive and wellness benefits, the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) program for Medicare Part D, and Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs), while providing one-on-one enrollment counseling and application assistance to support disease prevention and wellness promotion.

MDHHS distributes these funds through sub-awards to nine regional and local Area Agencies on Aging and community-based organizations across Michigan, including Region 3B Area Agency on Aging, Upcap Services, Tri-County Office on Aging, Region II Commission on Services to the Aging, Region VII Area Agency on Aging, Detroit Area Agency on Aging, The Senior Alliance, and Area Agency on Aging 1-B. These sub-awardees provide Medicare and Medicaid counseling, care transition coordination, nursing facility transition assistance, and services through the Michigan No Wrong Door System to help seniors and disabled adults access available benefits and maintain independence in their communities.
