TennCare’s CHOICES program, which provides a daily meal delivery benefit for eligible older adults and adults with physical disabilities, will continue during the federal government shutdown. Adults enrolled in TennCare should reach out to their health plan if they need help requesting this benefit. Through TennCare’s Community Compass website, Tennesseans may connect with local organizations offering free or low-cost services such as medical care, food assistance, job training, and more.
