The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Administration for Community Living (ACL) are jointly offering this grant, reauthorized by ATRA with $25 million for FY 2013, under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA). This funding builds on prior MIPPA legislation supporting beneficiary outreach. The grant establishes a national resource center designed to coordinate efforts to inform older Americans and beneficiaries with disabilities about available federal and state benefits, specifically focusing on the Low Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Program. This center will also serve as a crucial technical assistance hub for all MIPPA grantees, facilitating coordinated information dissemination on vital health and financial support programs for vulnerable populations.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Administration for Community Living |
| Description: | With the passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) was amended in Section 3306 to provide additional funding for 2010 through 2012. With the passage of ATRA, the MIPPA programs have again been reauthorized for a total of $25 million[1] in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. This legislation builds upon the 2008 MIPPA legislation which provided for beneficiary outreach and included funding to State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs), Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), Aging and Disability Resource Center programs (ADRCs), and for a resource center to help coordinate efforts to inform older Americans about available Federal and State benefits. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Administration for Community Living (ACL) are jointly administering the MIPPA funding through a single announcement and a coordinated implementation and monitoring process as a model for similar state and local collaboration for this funding. The national MIPPA resource center will coordinate efforts to inform older Americans and beneficiaries with disabilities about the benefits available under federal and state programs, with an emphasis on providing information on the Low Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Program benefits. This resource center, as it has in the past, will serve as a technical assistance resource center for the MIPPA grantees. |
