The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded $117,871 to the Tennessee Commission On Aging And Disability on September 1, 2026, under the Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program (CFDA 93.071), a Formula Grant supporting Medicare outreach and enrollment assistance.

The award funds enhanced outreach to eligible Medicare beneficiaries regarding preventive, wellness, and limited income benefits; application assistance for individuals eligible for Low Income Subsidy (LIS) and Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs); and outreach activities aimed at preventing disease and promoting wellness. The Tennessee Commission On Aging And Disability, the state's designated State Unit on Aging, delivers these services across all 95 counties in Tennessee in partnership with Area Agencies on Aging, development districts, and regional service providers.

The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028. Work is performed in Tennessee. As a Formula Grant, the award was made on a non-competitive basis upon approval of the State Plan. The program operates through a statutory formula under which the Administration for Community Living distributes funds to state agencies on aging, which in turn approve and award funds to Area Agencies on Aging and Aging and Disability Resource Centers.
