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.
