Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled Affordable Care Act Medicare Beneficiary Outreach and Assistance Program Funding for Title VI Native American Programs (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA MI 1022), was created to expand Medicare outreach and enrollment help for Native elders after the Affordable Care Act amended the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA). The basic idea is to put a small, targeted amount of federal money directly into the hands of existing Title VI Native American aging programs so they can run local, community-based efforts that explain Medicare-related benefits and help eligible elders take the next step toward enrolling or applying.
The program is administered by the Administration on Aging (AoA), working in the broader context of Affordable Care Act funding that also supports related outreach entities like State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs), Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs), and coordination/resource center activities. The opportunity recognizes that Title VI Native American Programs are often best positioned to reach American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian elders in culturally appropriate ways and to provide practical, one-on-one assistance navigating complex benefit programs.
The focus of the funded outreach is Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, the Low Income Subsidy (LIS) that helps pay Part D costs, the Medicare Savings Program (MSP) that can help with Medicare premiums and cost sharing for people with limited income, and Medicare prevention benefits and screenings. Applicants are expected not just to share general information, but to actively inform and assist elders who may qualify, including counseling and helping beneficiaries move toward applications for the benefits they are eligible to receive.
Funding is straightforward and uniform: AoA planned to award a 1,000 dollar grant to each eligible Title VI Native American program, with both the award floor and ceiling set at 1,000 dollars. The total estimated funding was 246,000 dollars across an expected 246 awards, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is a grant, the opportunity category is discretionary, and it is associated with CFDA 93.071 (Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program), under the activity area of income security and social services.
To receive funds, Title VI Native American programs were asked to certify that they would use the grant to coordinate, at minimum, one community announcement and at least one outreach event. The purpose is very specific: ensure there is at least one organized, public-facing moment where eligible Native elders can learn about Medicare Part D, LIS, MSP, or Medicare preventive benefits, and receive assistance or counseling. The notice also points out that the 1,000 dollars per event is an illustrative planning figure, and references cost information from the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) and research by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) that reflects typical expenses involved in organizing and implementing Medicare Part D and LIS outreach events.
Eligibility was limited to organizations already funded as Older Americans Act Title VI Native American Program awardees. In other words, this was not an open competition for new applicants; it was intended as a supplemental outreach boost for existing Title VI grantees already serving Native elders. The opportunity was posted June 7, 2010, with an original and final closing date of July 30, 2010, and it was archived August 29, 2010.
