    To qualify, you must be eligible for Medicaid and:

    • Be 65 or older (or, if younger than 65, meet certain disability requirements)
    • Require nursing home level care

  2. Gather What You'll Need

    • Verification of income

  3. Submit Your Application

    The Georgia Division of Aging Services administers SOURCE through the Area Agencies on Aging. You can apply for SOURCE by calling your Area Agency on Aging (AAA).
