AK NATIVE ELDER LISTENING SESSIONS | The National Council on Aging wants to visit your community! Now through August 31, they are seeking to organize listening sessions to reach Alaska Native/American Indian (AI/AN) Elders in Alaska.

The goal of the sessions is to learn how these elders experience enrolling in and using public benefit programs (like Medicaid, MSP, SNAP, SSI) or why they are choosing not to apply.

The Alaska Medicare Information Office is working with the National Council on Aging (NCOA) on Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) grant program efforts. NCOA receives the federal MIPPA grant to operate as the National Center for Benefits Outreach & Enrollment (https://www.ncoa.org/page/center-for-economic-well-being/).

This is offered at no cost to Alaskan organizations and Tribes. If you are interested in hosting a listening session in your community before the end of August, please contact Jeanne at [email protected].
