I am pleased to announce that, through our MIPPA Resource Center funding from the U.S. Administration for Community Living (ACL), NCOA is soliciting applications to award grants of up to $100K each to organizations to become new Benefits Enrollment Centers (BECs).

 

BECs use person-centered approaches to find and enroll low-income Medicare beneficiaries into a range of benefits for which they are eligible, with a specific emphasis on: LIS, MSP, SNAP/Food Stamps, LIHEAP (energy assistance), and Medicaid. State or community-based nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and faith-based organizations are eligible to apply.

 

Special consideration will be given to agencies serving areas not currently served by a BEC and who are focused on assisting underserved populations, including racial/ethnic minorities, rural residents, LGBTQ individuals, persons with disabilities, and individuals with limited English proficiency, among others.

 

Learn more about how to apply at: https://www.ncoa.org/article/grant-opportunity-benefits-enrollment-center. I am also attaching the Request for Proposals here.

 

There will be two informational webinars to answer questions about this opportunity, which are linked to from the page above. You can also address your questions directly to xxxxxx@ncoa.org.

 

The 12-month grants begin October 1, 2021. The deadline for application is July 1.
