How to Determine Eligibility

What assistance am I eligible for? What programs are available? You probably hear these questions many times a day. 

One of the first steps in the Care Coordination Grant Program is determining if the client is eligible for Medicaid or subsidies through the exchange. Colorado PEAK provides this "Am I Eligible?" tool. 

This easy-to-use tool will walk an individual through series of questions and show them which health, nutrition and other assistance programs they may qualify for. Be prepared for them to answer the following questions:

• Number of people in their home
• Income from jobs or other places
• Housing costs, such as rent, mortgage, utilities and a few other bills
• Some items that they own

Do you use this tool? What tools do you use that other agencies could benefit from?
