The text of this letter is identical to this web post.)

With the passage of the FY2015 General Appropriation Agreement (GAA), the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) will issue Formula Grant Allocations at a rate of $8.00 per elder, per municipality.  Regardless of size, all communities are eligible to apply for at least $4,000.  (See table of allocations below.)

EOEA uses the (2010) federal census as the foundation for award allocations.

To ensure that Formula Grant payments will be issued as soon as practicable, COAs are asked to have their municipal accountant/finance officer complete and submit the “Statement of Grant/Allocation Balance for FY2014” no later than September 23rd.  Late submission of required material may be subject to payment processing delays.

Formula Grant contracts for FY2015 will be issued in late September; they should be completed by the COA (municipality) and returned to Elder Affairs as soon as practicable or within 45 days.  You do NOT need to “overnight” this document.

If the name of the COA Director/Chairperson is not current, please DO NOT modify the name that appears in the CONTRACT MANAGER box on the contract.  An incorrect name does not invalidate the contract.  Please know this office seeks to keep this information as current as practicable.

Please contact the Executive Office of Elder Affairs at 617-222-7471 or 617-223-9928 with any questions.

Thank you.
