Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2025 ACL CIP MPPG 0025
The Senior Medicare Patrol State Project Grants - Michigan opportunity is a discretionary federal funding competition from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL), designed to support Michigan's statewide Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) project. The SMP program focuses on helping Medicare beneficiaries, along with their families and caregivers, prevent, spot, and report healthcare fraud, billing errors, and abuse. The core idea is practical protection: giving people the knowledge and support they need to avoid financial losses, prevent harmful or unnecessary medical services, and reduce the health and economic fallout that can come from fraudulent or incorrect Medicare billing.
This grant supports work that is heavily community-facing and education-driven. SMP projects carry out outreach, counseling, and training so beneficiaries understand how Medicare works, how to read and question Medicare statements, and how to identify red flags like services they never received, duplicate charges, suspicious suppliers, or pressure tactics tied to their Medicare numbers. A major part of the program is teaching beneficiaries to safeguard their Medicare numbers, check for discrepancies, and report suspicious activity so it can be referred for further review or investigation through appropriate channels. Beyond one-on-one assistance, SMP projects are expected to push prevention messaging through media, outreach campaigns, and local events, building broad awareness rather than only responding after harm occurs.
Operationally, the Michigan SMP project would be carried out through a trained workforce that often relies substantially on volunteers. The project is expected to deliver local education and assistance across communities, which includes fielding inquiries and complaints from beneficiaries who suspect fraud, errors, or abuse. When those contacts come in, SMP staff and volunteers provide more in-depth counseling to help the person understand what they are seeing, document the issue, and take appropriate next steps for resolution and reporting. In other words, the funded organization functions both as an educator and as a trusted navigator for beneficiaries dealing with confusing or potentially fraudulent Medicare-related situations.
ACL expects to make up to one award in Michigan under this announcement, meaning the competition is aimed at selecting a single statewide cooperative agreement recipient to run the Michigan SMP project. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, such as closer coordination, shared responsibilities, or more active program oversight by the funding agency. The award ceiling is $890,000, and the Assistance Listing (CFDA) number associated with the program is 93.048. The opportunity number is HHS 2025 ACL CIP MPPG 0025, and the original application closing date is March 14, 2025, with the opportunity having been created on January 13, 2025.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of Michigan-based entities that can carry out statewide services, such as state, county, city/township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education where specified). Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible as long as they meet the stated requirements. Foreign entities are not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this announcement.Apply for HHS 2025 ACL CIP MPPG 0025
