Formula Grant 2601FLMISH

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded $1,220,898 to the Department of Elder Affairs Florida on September 1, 2026, under the Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program (CFDA 93.071), a Formula Grant supporting enhanced outreach and enrollment assistance for Medicare beneficiaries in Florida through August 31, 2028.

The program provides enhanced outreach to eligible Medicare beneficiaries regarding preventive, wellness, and limited-income benefits; application assistance for individuals who may be eligible for the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) or Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs); and outreach activities aimed at preventing disease and promoting wellness. The Department of Elder Affairs Florida, as the state's primary agency dedicated to serving older adults, delivers these services across Florida and administers pass-through distributions to designated Area Agencies on Aging and Indian Tribal Organizations in accordance with its approved state plan. The award is structured as a formula grant with a one-year funding period and annual revisions, typical of the program's statutory distribution mechanism to state agencies on aging.
