About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) is seeking applications for a cooperative agreement to support a Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) State Project Grant in Michigan. The SMP program aims to empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries in the state to prevent, detect, and report healthcare fraud, errors, and abuse through outreach, counseling, and education activities. Key requirements include providing statewide coverage, recruiting and training a diverse workforce, monitoring program results, and responding to programmatic changes. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to implement data collection systems, collaborate with volunteers, and deliver both virtual and in-person services. The funding opportunity is open to state/local governments, non-profits, higher education institutions, and tribal organizations, with an application deadline of March 14, 2025 and an informational webinar scheduled for January 23, 2025.
The grant will provide up to $890,000 per 12-month budget period for a 36-month project period, with a minimum award of $500,000. The successful applicant will be expected to serve all counties in the state of Michigan. The project is funded under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV, and Title II, Discretionary Projects (CFDA 93.048) and is anticipated to start on June 1, 2025.

Update #2 · Latest ·
These modifications have been made to the NOFO: In Section III.1, the first paragraph was removed. This paragraph described an Executive Order from the previous administration. In Section V, language in the Project Staff criterion was removed. Specifically, the language in the second factor -- about sexual orientation and gender identity - was removed. - The mission of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program is to empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report healthcare fraud, errors, and abuse. Through outreach, counseling, and education, the SMP program increases awareness and understanding of healthcare programs to protect Medicare beneficiaries from the economic and health-related consequences associated with Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. ACL currently provides grant funding to support 54 SMP state projects, including grantees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands. The SMP projects use this funding to provide local outreach, education, and assistance to Medicare beneficiaries through a trained workforce, many of which are volunteers. SMP projects teach Medicare beneficiaries to protect their Medicare numbers, to detect billing discrepancies on their Medicare statements, and to report suspicious activity for further investigation. In addition, SMP projects actively disseminate fraud prevention and identification information through the media, outreach campaigns, and community events. As a result of these efforts, beneficiaries contact the SMP projects with inquiries and complaints regarding potential Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. SMPs provide in-depth counseling and assistance to help beneficiaries who present with questions and issues. With this funding opportunity, ACL anticipates awarding up to 1 cooperative agreement to support an SMP project in Michigan.
