(ET)on July 8, 2024. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Funding Opportunity Description The Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) program supports states and tribes through grants to provide outreach and assistance to Medicare beneficiaries with limited incomes and assets. MIPPA state grantees help educate beneficiaries about the Low-Income Subsidy
(LIS)program for Medicare Part D, Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs), and Medicare Preventive Services while also providing one-on-one assistance to eligible Medicare beneficiaries to help them apply for benefit programs that help lower the costs of their Medicare premiums and deductibles. These funds will allow agencies to provide enhanced outreach to eligible Medicare beneficiaries regarding their preventive, wellness, and limited income benefits; application assistance to individuals who may be eligible for LIS or MSPs; and outreach activities aimed at preventing disease and promoting wellness. Applicant plans should go above and beyond those regular activities planned in response to other funding sources. ACL will accept only one application for each Priority Area per state. If an agency is eligible for more than one MIPPA Priority Area, the agency may combine their responses into one comprehensive application. *Eligibility Criteria and Other Requirements.* MIPPA state funding is limited to state agencies by Priority Area: • *Priority Area 1—State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP):* SHIP grant recipients or (SHIP-designated state agencies) • *Priority Area 2—Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs):* State Units on Aging
(SUA)(or SUA-designated state agencies) • *Priority Area 3—Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs):* Agencies that are established ADRCs (or designated state agency serving as the No Wrong Door lead) I. Award Information 1.

Anticipated Total Priority Area Funding ACL intends to make available, under this program announcement, grant awards for the three MIPPA Priority Areas. Funding will be distributed through a formula as identified in statute. ACL will fund total project periods of up to one year contingent upon availability of federal funds. • *Priority Area 1—SHIP:* $16.5 million in FY 2024 • *Priority Area 2—AAA:* $17.9 million in FY 2024 • *Priority Area 3—ADRC:* $9.8 million in FY 2024 II.
