This comprehensive guide breaks down Medicare eligibility and costs for older immigrants, and includes tips on accessing savings programs and language assistance.
Older adults regularly rely on language access protections, including interpreter services and translated materials, to navigate complicated programs and services that allow them to age with dignity. We are working with partners to actively monitor the implementation of Executive Order 13166 and to protect the rights of older adults with LEP to access programs and services in their own language.
Justice in Aging and partners respond to HHS’s request on a universal language assistance symbol, emphasizing equity, accessibility, and improved communication for older adults with limited English proficiency.
This webinar outlines how language access poses an additional barrier in the complex and paperwork-intensive SSI and Social Security application process.
