Happy Friday,
I just want to thank you all for your responses to this question earlier this week.
We got quite a lot of responses and it’s clear that every state handles this differently.
Some grantees have partnerships with their justice departments to assist with applying for benefits prior to release.
Stay tuned for more information on this topic.
Stay well all and have a nice weekend.
Leslie

Good Morning,
We have been asked for information about states that allow Medicare beneficiaries to apply for Medicare Savings Programs prior to individuals being released from prison. If there are states that have a process in place, please share with
the listserv or me.
Thanks,
Leslie
