Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACL CIP SAPG 0363
The 2020 State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) Base Grant is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It supports the nationwide SHIP network, which Congress established in 1990 to provide free, unbiased education and one-on-one assistance to people who are eligible for Medicare, along with their families and caregivers. The core purpose is to help individuals understand Medicare-related coverage choices and make informed health insurance decisions, especially when navigating plan options, benefits, enrollment periods, and related coverage questions.
This announcement funds the SHIP "base" grants that operate in every state and certain U.S. territories. In total, ACL expects to make 54 awards, reflecting one grant for each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have ongoing involvement with grantees beyond a standard grant relationship, such as providing guidance, oversight, and coordination to ensure program goals and national requirements are met consistently.
The project period is five years, running from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2025, with all awards dependent on the availability of federal funds. The maximum listed award ceiling is $4,056,058. The funding activity is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 93.324.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and specifically to the state entities designated to run SHIP statewide. The announcement identifies eligible applicants as State Offices of Insurance, State Medicaid Offices, or State Departments on Aging, as designated by the relevant state or territory. Applicants must demonstrate both the ability and the commitment to provide SHIP services statewide, reflecting the expectation that SHIP is not a localized effort but a comprehensive statewide program that can reach Medicare-eligible residents across urban, suburban, and rural communities.
