This document was developed in response to the currently increasing older adult population in Colorado. The Colorado Aging Framework (CAF) incorporates the findings of the 16 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) as they assess the needs of older adults in their communities. It includes information from other states and national organizations, such as the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and others, regarding the most up-to-date thinking on issues affecting older adults (e.g., housing, health care, employment, care giving, etc.). It captures what state agencies in Colorado are doing, right now, to respond to the increasing population of older adults.
The Medicaid Buy-In Program for Working Adults with Disabilities (Adult Buy-In) is a Medical Assistance program that provides Medicaid benefits for working individuals with disabilities, ages 16 through 64, whose adjusted individual income is at or below 450% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
Medicaid buy-in offers health care coverage for children with disabilities whose family earnings and resources might otherwise make them ineligible for Medicaid.
The Early Intervention (EI) Colorado program provides supports and services to children birth through two years of age who have developmental delays or disabilities and their families.
