Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACL MITR 2301
The MIPPA Medicare Beneficiary Outreach and Assistance Program: Funding for OAA Title VI Native American Programs is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is issued under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2023 ACL MITR 2301 and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.071. The purpose of the program is to support Medicare beneficiary outreach and assistance activities that help older adults better understand and use Medicare-related benefits and protections, with this specific competition focused on Older Americans Act (OAA) Title VI Native American Programs.
This opportunity is designed specifically for federally recognized Native American tribal governments operating OAA Title VI programs. In practical terms, it targets tribal communities that already have a role in providing supportive and nutrition services to older Native Americans, and it provides additional resources so those programs can also deliver Medicare-focused outreach, education, enrollment help, and related benefits counseling. The overall aim is to reduce confusion and barriers that can keep older adults from accessing health coverage assistance they qualify for, and to strengthen local capacity to guide people through complex Medicare and related coverage decisions.
The award instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the program emphasis on benefits access, consumer assistance, and navigation support rather than direct medical care delivery. The published award ceiling is $15,000 per award, and ACL anticipated making about 110 awards, indicating relatively small, community-level grants intended to fund on-the-ground assistance and outreach rather than large-scale systems-building projects. Because the grants are mandatory, the funding is provided pursuant to authorizing legislation and appropriations that support MIPPA-related beneficiary assistance work.
The funding opportunity was created on May 24, 2023, and the original application closing date was July 27, 2023. The official announcement package is described as including both the Funding Opportunity Announcement and the grant application instructions, meaning applicants were expected to follow ACLs specific submission requirements, proposed activities, and any reporting or compliance expectations laid out in the notice. Overall, the grant is a targeted ACL initiative to equip OAA Title VI tribal programs with dedicated support to provide Medicare beneficiary outreach and assistance in Native communities, using modest awards to reach many tribal programs nationwide.Apply for HHS 2023 ACL MITR 2301
