Administration for Community Living


Announcement of the Intent To Award a Single-Source Cooperative 
Agreement to the Gerontology Institute, University of Massachusetts 
Boston

AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) announces the 
intent to award a single-source cooperative agreement in the amount of 
$75,000 to the Gerontology Institute, University of Massachusetts 
Boston (UMass Boston) to support and stimulate the expansion of work 
already underway by UMass Boston in providing pension counseling 
services to residents of the State of Illinois.

DATES: The award will be issued for a project period to run 
concurrently with the existing grantee's budget period.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Valerie Soroka, Office of Elder 
Rights, Administration on Aging, Administration for Community Living, 1 
Massachusetts Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20001. Telephone: 202-357-
3531; Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACL's Pension Counseling & Information 
Program consists of six regional pension counseling projects, covering 
29 states. The state of Illinois, with 64 million workers and a pension 
participation rate of 42%, is one of the largest states without an ACL-
funded pension counseling project. The Pension Action Center at UMass 
Boston, which conducts ACL's New England Pension Assistance Project, is 
currently providing pension counseling services to residents of 
Illinois with funding from the Retirement Research Foundation. 
Additional funds are needed to leverage the foundation's funding, in 
order to ensure that the current provision of services to Illinois 
residents will be continued. This supplementary funding would be 
provided for the approved period.
    This program is authorized under Title II of the Older Americans 
Act (OAA) (42 U.S.C. 3032), as amended by the Older Americans Act 
Amendments of 2006, Public Law 109-365.
