DOWNLOAD FACT SHEET
Effects of Budget Cuts to Senior and Aging Programs (318)
Attached is a fact sheet on what we know today about the impact of the State’s budget cuts on aging services. Details are limited at this point on how the cuts will play out. State contacts are saying it will be awhile until specifics are known. We will update you and the fact sheet as additional details become available. Trying to decipher the CA budget is sketchy so the stats in red on the fact sheet are on the conservative side. For example, different sources are saying there will be a third cut to SSI/SSP that will take an individual maximum down to $803 (maximum used to be $907) per month. (Imagine trying to live on $803 per month!)
NOTE: Federally funded grantees (Title III B, C, D, E, V and VII) are not impacted by the State’s budget cuts. However, the demand for these services may increase as a result of the reductions to or elimination of State funded programs.

Dear Friends and Fellow Ombudsmen,
As you may know by now, AB 392 passed the Senate, yesterday. I am in awe of the work that has been accomplished. It has been a true team undertaking and I feel privileged to be a member of the small funding group that has worked so hard since last October to get this rolling, and very blessed by all of you who stepped up and supported us in all the many ways you did along the way. It is not over yet, but we have come a long way together and I am very grateful for each and every one of you.
Attached is the press release prepared by Co-Author, Assembly Member Mike Feuer, for your review.
Best wishes for a great weekend and my sincere thanks for the hundreds of letters of support and everyone who worked on this with us.
