Medicaid Eligibility for Elder Services

In Alaska, there are several ways to pay for services that can be provided in your home. The services vary in each community dependent on your needs and the availability of providers in your specific location.
Check Eligibility on the AIRES Portal
Aries Self Service Portal provides you with a short eligibility quiz to help you determine if there is a State of Alaska public assistance program available for help support you and your family’s needs.

The Portal also allows you to start an application as well as review details about your personal case (you will need to sign into MyAlaska to access information).
