Program Description
The Ryan White CARE Act funds primary care and support services for
individuals living with HIV disease who lack sufficient health insurance and
financial resources for their care. Services are provided through State and
local government health departments, university medical centers, as
well as through public or non-profit faith-based and
community-based providers. The Federal government
establishes general guidelines for the administration of these services.
However, specific eligibility requirements to receive benefits, as well as
the type and scope of services provided, are determined by each individual
participating State or jurisdiction. You must check with the office in the
state you live in to confirm your eligibility to receive
benefits.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you or your
family/household members must have HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) and characterize your financial
situation as low income or very low income .
