MAPRP
Funding
The Mid-America Pension Rights Project is a program of Elder Law of Michigan, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We are funded by private donations and a Federal grant provided by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) that is through the Older Americans Act.

You currently live or work in the state the project serves, or if you lived or worked in the state while earning the pension; or
