Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACL CIP MINC 0399
The National Center for Benefits Outreach and Enrollment (NCBOE) funding opportunity is a discretionary, competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), designed to support one national-level cooperative agreement. The core purpose is to strengthen and expand benefits outreach and enrollment assistance so that older adults, especially those with the greatest economic need, can more easily learn about and enroll in the federal and state benefit programs they qualify for. Rather than funding direct services in a single community, this award is meant to fund a centralized technical assistance and resource hub that supports states, Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), and a wide range of community service providers that help older adults navigate public benefits.
This program traces back to 2006, when Congress amended the Older Americans Act and directed the Administration on Aging (AoA), now part of ACL, to partner with an experienced entity to build and maintain systems that improve benefits access for older individuals. The selected grantee is expected to maintain and update web-based decision support and enrollment tools, along with integrated and person-centered approaches that help individuals understand the full range of benefits for which they may be eligible. A major focus is on cost-effective strategies to identify older adults with high economic need, reach them through targeted outreach, and then help them complete enrollment in appropriate programs. The NCBOE is also expected to strengthen the network of local access points by supporting Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) and other state and community-based organizations, including faith-based groups and coalitions, to function as benefits enrollment centers.
A key part of the work is building and maintaining an information clearinghouse that captures best practices, effective outreach models, and proven methods for identifying eligible individuals and getting them enrolled. The NCBOE must also provide training and hands-on technical assistance on the full benefits assistance cycle, including outreach, screening, application and enrollment, and follow-up. In addition, the grantee is expected to coordinate broader efforts that inform older adults and people with disabilities about available federal and state benefits, with particular emphasis on Medicare-related affordability programs, especially the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS, also known as Extra Help) and the Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs). The NCBOE is also intended to serve as a technical assistance resource center supporting MIPPA-related state grantees and the partner entities typically involved in that work, such as State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs), AAAs, ADRCs, and Benefits Enrollment Centers.
Structurally, this award is a cooperative agreement, meaning ACL anticipates an ongoing federal role in shaping and overseeing the work rather than a more hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2020 ACL CIP MINC 0399 within the Income Security and Social Services activity category (CFDA 93.071). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may apply unless additional eligibility clarifications are included in the full announcement. ACL expects to make a single award, with an annual federal funding ceiling of up to $11,500,000, and a total project period of up to five years, contingent on the availability of federal funds. The original closing date listed for applications was June 2, 2020, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.Apply for HHS 2020 ACL CIP MINC 0399
