This grant is for the purpose of expanding the capacity of the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program, enabling it to reach significantly more Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is offering this grant to its 54 current SMP project grantees. With approximately $7.3 million available, dependent on funding, this opportunity will empower incumbent SMP grantees to expand and enhance their project’s volunteer workforce. Additionally, funds will support expanded SMP outreach and education efforts statewide, improve grantees’ ability to manage beneficiary inquiries and complaints promptly, and enhance state-level SMP program and volunteer management, ultimately strengthening healthcare fraud prevention.
