Learn about important insights from NCOA's research on older adult benefits participation.
NCOA’s new Benefits Participation Map revealed that millions of older adults are eligible for but not enrolled in Medicare Savings Programs (MSP), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Finding staggering variations between counties with both high- and low-participation rates, we conducted research with enrollment entities in select counties to understand what factors influence participation rates in each population and what strategies increase program enrollment. This webinar will highlight:
- The social and demographic make-up of participating counties
- Changes in benefits participation rates between 2018 and 2023
- Challenges and barriers to benefits participation
- Factors that create enabling environments for older adults to access benefits
- Recommendations for best practices in closing the participation gap
Opening Remarks: Katherine Hempstead, PhD, Senior Policy Officer, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Presentation: Ryan Ramsey, Associate Director of Health Coverage and Benefits, NCOASupport for this research was provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of the Foundation.
