PLEASE BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR JENNY
BELLOW AT THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE HERE TODAY TO
PROVIDE YOU WITH A HIGH LEVEL
OVERVIEW OF THE GOVERNOR'S MAY
REVISION PROPOSAL FOR THE
MAJOR. HUMAN SERVICES AB
PROGRAMS AND DEPARTMENTS FOR
THE TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY ONE
BUDGET YEAR. AS YOU HAVE NOTED
I WILL BE SPEAKING FROM A
HANDOUT TODAY THAT IS POSTED TO
OUR WEBSITE AND TO THE ASSEMBLY
IS WEBSITE. OUR OFFICE IS STILL
IN THE EARLY STAGES OF
UNDERSTANDING THE PROPOSALS
THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE MAYOR
VISION. AND OVER THE NEXT
COMING DAYS AND WEEKS WE WILL
BE PROVIDING YOU WITH
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS AND THOUGHT
HE TAKE AWAYS AND QUESTIONS
THAT WE HAVE. TO ASSIST YOU- IN
IN YOUR BUDGET DECISIONS COMING
FORWARD. PAGE ONE OF THE HAND
OUT. AS YOU'VE ALREADY NOTED
THERE THE BUDGET PROPOSAL THAT
YOU RECEIVED LAST WEEK IT'S
VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE
THAT YOU RECEIVED IN JANUARY.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
THAT IS BROUGHT ON BY THE
CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC HAS
RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT
ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES FOR THE
STATE AND RESULTED IN NEGATIVE
CONDITIONS FOR THE BUDGET. SO
THE TABLE ON PAGE ONE REALLY
LAYS OUT THE EVOLUTION OF THE
BUDGET AD HOW IT'S CHANGED
SINCE YOU LAST SIDE IN JANUARY.
WE THOUGHT THIS IMPORTANT AND
IN AT AN IMPORTANT DISPLAY IS
TO HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHERE
THE DIFFERENT PIECES ARE MOVING.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE TABLE
THERE'S A LOT OF NUMBERS HERE
SO I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH SOME
OF THE KEY TAKE AWAYS. IF YOU
LOOK AT THE- THREE COLUMNS THE
FIRST THREE COLUMNS. THIS IS
REALLY SHOWING YOU. A PICTURE
OF THE CURRENT YEAR TWENTY
NINETEEN TWENTY. AND IT'S
SHOWING YOU WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION THOUGHT THE
MAJOR HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
PROGRAMS WHAT COST. AT THE TIME
OF THE JANUARY BUDGET. AND
COMPARING IT TO MAY. AND
SHOWING YOU THE DIFFERENCE. I
THINK THE TAKE AWAY HERE IS
THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE
CHANGE IN THE CAL WORKS
PROGRAM. THE CHANGES HERE ARE
RELATIVELY MODEST THEY REALLY
ENCOMPASS CHANGES IN CASE
LOADING COST. ALSO THERE WERE
SIGNIFICANT EFFORTS UNDERTAKEN
BY THAT HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES AGENCY. AND THE MONTH
OF MARCH AND APRIL. TO PROVIDE
RELIEF. TO COUNTIES AND TWO
RECIPIENTS OF PROGRAMS AS THEY
DEALT. WITH THE PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISES. THE OTHER THING THAT'S
REFLECTED IN THE TWENTY
NINETEEN TWENTY NUMBERS. ARE
THE FACT THAT THE STATE HAS
SECURED ENHANCED FEDERAL
FUNDING THROUGH THAT FEDERAL
MEDICAID ASSISTANCE PERCENTAGE
OR MAP INCREASE OF SIX PERCENT.
AND THAT HAVE THE EFFECT OF
OFFSETTING STATE GENERAL COSTS
FOR CERTAIN PROGRAMS. BUT AGAIN
THE REAL STORY HERE IS THAT THE
CHANGES IN NINETEEN TWENTY A
RELATIVELY MODEST WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF CAL WORKS. AND
THAT IS REALLY DRIVEN BY AN
INCREASEIN THE CASE LOAD WHICH
WILL DISCUSS LATER. MOVING OVER
TO THE TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY ONE
COMPARISON AGAIN THIS IS
SHOWING YOU. WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION ESTIMATED THE
PROGRAMS TO COST IN TWENTY
EIGHT IN JANUARY AND COMPARING
THAT TO MAY. AND HERE IS WHERE
YOU EE SOME REAL VARIANCE AND
SAM. IS A MARKED DIFFERENCES
AND CHANGES AND THIS IS
BECAUSE- IT IS A FULL YEAR OF
CASELOAD IMPACTS. THAT ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH A CORONA VIRUS.
SO AGAIN MAJOR INCREASES AND
PROGRAMS LIKE HOW IT WORKS ARE
ESTIMATED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION. ADDITIONALLY IT
SHOWING A FULL YEAR OF FEDERAL
FUNDING RELIEF. I'M THAT
OFFSETS GENERAL FUND COSTS. AND
THEN FINALLY IT'S IT REFLECTS
THE GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION
PROPOSALS WHICH HAVE. VARIOUS
REDUCTIONS ACROSS THE DIFFERENT
DEPARTMENTS WHICH WE WILL AGAIN
DISCUSS LATER. THE FINAL COLUMN
REALLY SHOWS THE YEAR OVER
DIFFERENCES BASED ON OUR BEST
ESTIMATES AND AGAIN. THE MAJOR
CHANGES THAT WHICH WE WILL
DISCUSS. TURNING TO THE NEXT
PAGE OF THE HANDOUT WE WOULD
JUST NOTE THAT IT'S IMPORTANT
TO LOOK AT NOT JUST THE GENERAL
FUND CHANGES TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
THE PROGRAMS BUT TO LOOK AT
TOTAL COSTS. THAT'S ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT FOR THE WHOLE WORKS
PROGRAM ALTHOUGH THE GENERAL
FUND COSTA SHOWING A VERY
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE
YEAR OVER BASIS- OF OVER TWO
TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT
PERCENT. THE WHEN YOU LOOK AT
TOTAL FUNDS THE INCREASE IS
STILL VERY SIGNIFICANT AN
UNPRECEDENTED BUT IT'S CLOSER
TO FIFTY FIVE PERCENT. AND THIS
IS REALLY DRIVEN BY AN
ESTIMATED INCREASE IN THE
HOWARD CASE LOAD ON A YEAR OVER
BASIS A SEVENTY FIVE POINT 6%
ANOTHER PROGRAM WHERE IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
ALL FUNDS NOT JUST THE GENERAL
FUND IS AN IN HOME SUPPORTIVE
SERVICES PROGRAM. FOR THAT
PROGRAM YOU WILL HAVE NOTICED
ON THE PRIOR PAGE THAT. THE
GENERAL FUND WAS EXPECTED TO
DECREASE. IN A YEAR OVER BASIS.
BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT TOTAL
FUNDS. IT'S ACTUALLY EXPECTED
TO INCREASE BY OVER 8% AND
AGAIN THIS IS THE EFFECT OF THE
FEDERAL ASSISTANCE RELATED TO
THE AFTERMATH WHICH WE USED TO
OFFSET THE GENERAL FUND COST OF
THE PROGRAM. SHE TURNING NOW TO
THE NEXT PAGE OF THE HANDOUT WE
FIRST WHEN WE FIRST RECEIVED
THE MAYOR VISION WE THOUGHT IT
IMPORTANT TO LOOK BACK AT THE
JANUARY PROPOSAL AS YOU'LL
RECALL IN JANUARY THE BUDGET
PICTURE WAS VERY DIFFERENT SO
THE ADMINISTRATION HAD SEVERAL
MAJOR AUGMENTATION PROPOSALS
BEFORE YOU AND WE REALLY WANTED
TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE
TREATMENT OF THOSE IN THE NAY
REVISION. GENERALLY THE
TREATMENT FALLS INTO THREE
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES SOME OF
THE PROPOSALS IN FACT MANY OF
THEM HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN SOME
OF THOSE AUGMENTATION PROPOSALS
SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN
SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED FOR
EXAMPLE- IN JANUARY THE
GOVERNOR WAS PROPOSING TO
CREATE A NEW DEPARTMENT OF
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AT
THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
AGENCY. AND NOW THAT PROPOSAL
IS TO MOVED CHILD CARE PROGRAMS
INTO THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES AS PART OF THE VISION
SO SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION TO
THAT PROPOSAL THERE ARE A FEW
JANUARY PROPOSALS THAT ROUTINE
AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO A
COMPLETE INVENTORY OF THOSE
THAT YOU HAVE BEST INFORMATION
YOU GO FORWARD AND JUST. THANK
YOU. PAGE OF THE HANDOUT.
YOU'LL SEE THE I'M OF MAJOR
PROPOSALS THE MAJOR MAYOR
BUDGET REDUCTION PROPOSALS PUT
FORWARD BY THE ADMIN. I THINK
ONE BIG TAKEAWAY HERE IS TAT
AT UNLIKEOTHER AREAS OF THE
BUDGET THE ADMINISTRATION TOOK
A MORE TARGETED APPROACH AND
HUMAN SERVICES- SOLUTIONS IT
WAS NOT SORT OF BLANKET OVERALL
PERCENTAGE DECREASE AS BUT MORE
US SPECIFIC SPECIFIC ADD
DECREASES FOR A SPECIFIC
PROGRAM. ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE
HERE IS THAT THERE ARE REALLY
TWO TYPES OF REDUCTIONS IN
FRONT OF YOU. THERE ARE THE
ONES THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS
PUTTING FORWARD AS PART OF
THEIR BASELINE BUDGET PROPOSAL
THAT THEY WILL DO YOU NO MATTER
WHAT. AND THEN THERE ARE A
CATEGORY OF REDUCTION OF THEIR
WE ARE REFERRING TO AS TRIGGER
REDUCTIONS AND THESE ARE
REDUCTIONS THAT ONLY GO INTO
PLACE IF FEDERAL FUNDING OF
FOURTEEN BILLION IS NOT. IS NOT
SECURED BY THE STATE. SOLVE ALL
WALK THROUGH THESE LESS AT A
HIGH LEVEL AND THE FIRST ONE IS
IN THE DEPARTMENT OF AGING. THE
PROPOSAL IS TO ELIMINATE THE
MULTI PURPOSE SENIOR SERVICES
PROGRAM. THIS IS A PROGRAM FOR
LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
QUALIFY FOR SKILLED NURSING
FACILITY AND IT PROVIDES CASE
MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO THEM IN
THEIR HOME. THE NEXT PROPOSAL
IS TO REDUCE THE SENIOR
SERVICES NUTRITION AS THE
SENIOR NUTRITION PROGRAM AT THE
DEPARTMENT OF AGING. AND THIS
IS THE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES
HOME DELIVERED MEALS AND
CONGREGATE MEALS TO SENIORS.
THERE'S A PROPOSAL TO REDUCE
AGING AND DISABILITY RESOURCE
CENTER FUNDING BY THREE MILLION
THESE ARE YOUR NORWALK WRONG
DOOR SPOTS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
SEEKING INFORMATION ON LONG
TERM CARE. THERE'S THAT REQUEST
THERE'S A PROPOSAL TO REDUCE
THE LONG TERM CARE OMBUDSMAN
PROGRAM BY TWO MILLION. MOVING
TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILD
SUPPORT SERVICES AS PART OF THE
ADMINISTRATION'S JANUARY
PROPOSAL THERE WAS ACTUALLY A
PROPOSAL TO INCREASE FUNDING
FOR LOCAL CHILD SUPPORT
AGENCIES. I ABOUT EIGHTEEN
MILLION DOLLARS AT THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS WITHDRAWN
THAT PROPOSAL AND ALSO PROPOSE
TO FURTHER REDUCE THE CHILD
SUPPORT AGENCIES BUDGET TO THE
TO AT TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN BUDGET LEVELS. FOR
SAVINGS OF TIRTY EIGHT POINT
ONE MILLION. MOVING TO THE IN
HOME SUPPORTIVE SERVICES
PROGRAM THERE IS A PROPOSAL TO
REDUCE IN HOME SUPPORTED
SERVICE HOURS BY SEVEN PERCENT.
THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS
FIRST DONE IN THE GREAT
RECESSION AND THAT WOULD IS
ESTIMATED TO RESULT IN AN
AVERAGE HOUR REDUCTION OF
AROUND EIGHT HOURS PER MONTH.
THERE'S ALSO PROPOSAL TO HOLD
HSS COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
TO THE TWENTY NINETEEN TWENTY
LEVELS. AT THE NEXT PROPOSAL IS
IT'S- TO ALIGN I JUST AS
RESIDUAL PROGRAM WITH MEDI CAL
AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS
CURRENTLY WIN AND I JUST LAST
RECIPIENT- LOSES ELIGIBILITY
FOR MEDI CAL THEY GO INTO STATE
ONLY I JUST ASK PROGRAM. THIS
PROPOSAL WED. ALLOW AND
ENCOURAGE AND PROVIDE FOR THAT%
PERSON I THEY'RE NOT TO FALL
OFF OF THE MEDICAL PROGRAM
THERE BY SECURING THE FEDERAL
FUNDING OR IF THEY DO IN
FACILITATING THEIR RETURNS THE
MEDIC HEALTH PROGRAM. THE NEXT
PROPOSAL IS TO CONTRACT OUT FOR
AGES THAT'S PAYROLL
FUNCTIONALITY THAT IS NOW DONE
AT THE COUNTY LEVEL FOR A
SAVINGS OF NINE POINT TWO
MILLION DOLLARS. MOVING INTO SS
I SS PETE. THERE IS A PROPOSAL
TO OFFSET THE S. S. P. PORTION
THE STATE'S PORTION OF THE
GRANT BY THE AMOUNT THAT THE SS
I PORTION WAS SCHEDULED TO
INCREASE YOU WILL RECALL THAT
IN JANUARY- THE SS I PORTION OF
THE FEDERAL PORTION OF THE SS I
SS P. GRANT. IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE- DUE TO A FEDERAL
COLAC BUT THIS WOULD DO IS IT
WOULD ALLOW THE STATE TO. HOLD
DOWN THE STATE'S PORTION OF THE
GRANTS BY DOWN TO THE FEDERALLY
ALLOWABLE MINIMUM. AS A SIZE IS
P. RECIPIENTS WOULD RECEIVE AN
INCREASE IN THEIR TOTAL GRANT
IN THE BUDGET YEAR BUT IT WOULD
BE SMALLER- SIGNIFICANTLY
SMALLER THAN WHAT IT WAS
PROJECTED TO BE IN JANUARY.
MOVING INTO THE CAL WORKS
PROGRAM AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED
THE CAL WORKS PROGRAM IS
EXPECTED TO GROW AT.
UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS BY THE
ESTIMATES OF THE
ADMINISTRATION. WITH THAT COMES
UP COST INCREASES IN THE
EMPLOYER ASSOCIATE IT
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND CHILD
CARE. THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION
HAS MADE A DECISION TO THAT THE
NEW INDIVIDUALS COMING INTO CAL
WORKS AS A RESULT OF LOSING
EMPLOYMENT- DURING THE CODE
NINETEEN CRISIS ARE THOSE THAT
HAVE RECENTLY BEEN WORKING AND
THEIR THEIR NEEDS FOR
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND CHILD
CARE MAYBE LESS. AND AS A
RESULT THEY HAVEN'T BUDGETED
LAST COST PER CASE. AND THAT
RESULT IN SAVINGS OF SIX
HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE MILLION
IN THE BUDGET YEAR. THERE'S
ALSO A PROPOSAL TO SUSPEND THE
CAL WORKS EXPANDED SUBSIDIZED
EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM THIS IS A
PROGRAM THAT FIRST CAME ABOUT
DURING THE GREAT RECESSION. IS
A PROGRAM THAT LINKS HOW WORKS
RECIPIENTS WITH EMPLOYERS AND
SUBSIDIZES THEIR EMPLOYMENT.
THIS IS AN ESTIMATED TO SAVE A
HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR MILLION
IN THE BUDGET YEAR. THE NEXT
PROPOSAL IS TO REDUCE THE HOME
VISITING PROGRAM AND CAL WORKS
BY THIRTY MILLION. AND TO
SUSPEND THE CAL WORKS
ACCOUNTABILITY AND REVIEW
PROGRAM I TWENTY ONE MILLION.
TURNING TO THE NEXT PAGE WE GET
INTO CHILD WELFARE SERVICES.
AND I WILL JUST NOTES THERE WE
GOT CLARIFICATION TODAY FROM
THE ADMINISTRATION THAT TWO OF
THE ITEMS THAT ARE NOT MARKED
AS TRIGGER REDUCTIONS ON OUR-
HAND OUT ACTUALLY ARE SO I WILL
NOTE THOSE AS WE GO THROUGH. SO
THE FIRST PROPOSAL IS TO REDUCE
RATES FOR SHORT TERM
RESIDENTIAL THERAPEUTIC
PROGRAMS OR S. T. R. T. PIECE
AS WE KNOW THEM BY FIVE
PERCENT. AND THEN TO ALSO
SUSPEND THE ROLLOUT OF THE
LEVEL OF CARE RATE SYSTEM. UP
FOR FOSTER YOUTH THIS IS THE
LEVEL OF CARE RATE SYSTEM IS.
HAS NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED ACROSS
THE BOARD YET IT HAS BEEN
IMPLEMENTED FOR FOSTER FAMILY
AGENCIES. THIS WOULD POSTPONE
ANY FURTHER IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE LEVEL OF CARE RATE TOOL.
AND WHAT BUT IT WOULD NOT
DECREASE RATES FOR ANY CURRENT
FOSTER YOUTH THIS IS ESTIMATED
TO SAVE TWENTY EIGHT MILLION IN
THE BUDGET YEAR. THE NEXT
PROPOSAL IS TO ELIMINATE THE
FOSTER FAMILY. ONLY AGENCIES
SOCIAL WORKER RATE FOR SAVINGS
OF FOUR POINT SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS AND THIS IS ONE OF
THOSE TRIGGER REDUCTIONS THAT
IS NOT MARKED ON OUR HANDS OUT
THE NEXT IS TO ELIMINATE THE
FAMILY URGENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
WHICH WAS. A NEW PROPOSED A NEW
PROGRAM- PROVIDED FOR A LAST
YEAR. AND THIS IS A THIS IS A
PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS FOR A
TWENTY FOUR HOUR HOTLINE AND
EMERGENCY RESPONSE FOR FOSTER.
FAMILIES AND YOUTH THAT ARE
EXPERIENCING TRAUMA. THE NEXT
PROPOSAL IS TO ELIMINATE A
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE EARLY
INTERVENTION PILOT PROGRAM IN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY. THAT WAS
ALSO PART OF LAST YEAR'S BUDGET
FOR EIGHT POINT FIVE MILLION
GENERAL FUND. MOVING OUT INTO
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL
SERVICES THERE'S A BIT OF A
DIFFERENT APPROACH HERE THAT
THE ADMINISTRATION TOOK. THEY
ARE ASSUMING SAVINGS ARE AS
THEY ARE PROPOSING SAVINGS OF
THREE HUNDRED MILLION IN THE
BUDGET YEAR. AND THEY'RE DOING
THIS OR- OF EFFORTS- FIRST IS
THROUGH SOME SOME TYPE OF RATE
REDUCTION WHICH THEY INTEND TO
SEEK INPUT FROM. STAKEHOLDERS
IN ORDER TO DETERMINE EXACTLY
WHAT THAT WOULD BE. AND THEN
SEVENTY MILLION OF IT WOULD BE
FROM EFFICIENCIES. THEY'RE ALSO
PROPOSING TO ENFORCE A UNIFORM
HOLIDAY SCHEDULE THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN IN
STATUTE FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT
HAS NOT BEEN ENFORCED AND WOULD
REQUIRE. ESSENTIALLY FOURTEEN
DAYS A YEAR WERE PROVIDERS ARE
UNABLE TO BILL. THERE IS ALSO A
PROPOSAL TO REDUCE REGIONAL
CENTER OPERATIONS BY THIRTY
MILLION. AND IT TO INCREASE
ENROLLMENT IN MEDICAID WAIVER
PROGRAM SO THIS WOULD IDENTIFY
INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT BE
ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID WAIVER
RATHER THAN A STATE ONLY
PROGRAMS AND MOVE THEM INTO THE
MEDICAID PROGRAM TO. SECURE
FEDERAL PARTIAL FEDERAL FUNDING.
IS A VERY HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW
OF THE MAJOR REDUCTION
PROPOSALS INCLUDED IN THE
BUDGET WE WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT
THE MAI REVISION ALSO INCLUDE
SOME NEW PROPOSED
AUGMENTATIONS. BUT OUR INITIAL
ASSESSMENT OF THESE INDICATE
THAT THEY ARE PRIMARILY AIMED
TO RESPOND TO THE CODE BUT
NINETEEN CRISIS. TURNING TO THE
NEXT PAGE OF THE HANDOUT. AS I
HAD MENTIONED WE'RE STILL IN
THE VERY EARLY STAGES OF
REVIEWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL. AND
WE REALLY WOULD NOT HEAR THAT
CASELOAD AND GETTING TO THE
BOTTOM OF HIS LEAD ESTIMATES IS
OF KEY IMPORTANCE- THERE IS AN
UNPRECEDENTED IN ESTIMATED
INCREASE IN IN THE CALYX
PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO
UNDERSTAND AND TO REALLY- GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE
METHODOLOGY. BECAUSE IT'S
DEPEND ON THE SIZE OF THAT
INCREASE THAT THAT DETERMINES
THE SIZE OF THE BUDGET PROBLEM
YOU'RE TRYING TO SOLVE FOR AND
WHAT YOU NEED TO SOLVE FOR IT
SO THAT IS OF KEY IMPORTANCE TO
US AND WE ACTUALLY HAD MEETINGS
OF THE ADMINISTRATION EVEN
TODAY ON THAT SO THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT. WE ENCOURAGE
YOU ALSO TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT.
YOU KNOW THESE ARE THESE ARE
VERY DIFFICULT DECISIONS AND
NOT ONES THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU
WOULD BE MAKING AT THE TIME OF
THE JANUARY BUDGET- SO WE
THOUGHT WE WOULD TALK ABOUT
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS. WE AS AN
OFFICE ARE ASKING OURSELVES AS
WERE DIGESTING- THESE
PROPOSALS. THE FIRST IS. DOES
THE PROPOSAL WHAT IMPACT AS A
PROPOSAL HAVE ON THE PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS. AREN'T AREN'T
INDIVIDUALS PERSONAL ECONOMIC
STATUS. AND WHEN POSSIBLE YOU'D
WANT TO LIMIT THE PROPOSALS
THAT WOULD WORK AT CROSS
PURPOSES- WITH ANY OF THE
PANDEMIC RESPONSE EFFORTS THAT
ARE IN PLACE. AND IS THAT IT
THE ADMINISTRATION AND NOT
REDUCING POWER GRANTS THAT
THAT'S THAT'S THE TYPE OF-
PROPOSAL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON
PROGRAM RECIPIENTS SO RATHER
THAN ELIMINATING A PROGRAM IS
THERE A WAY THAT YOU COULD HAVE
A MORE TARGETED REDUCTION. TO
THE PROGRAM AND MAINTAIN ITS
CORE. OF WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD
OF ACHIEVING THE SAVINGS AT IS
THERE IS THERE ARE- LIKELIHOOD
OF LITIGATION IS IT POSSIBLE TO
ACHIEVE THE SAVINGS ARE THE
FEDERAL IS THE FEDERAL FUNDING
BEING MAXIMIZES THE KEY
QUESTION ARE WE THINKING ALL
THE FEDERAL FUNDS OUT THERE-
ARE THE REDUCTIONS THAT WE
HAVE. PUT FORWARD- FORFEITING A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FEDERAL
FUNDING. ANOTHER ANOTHER KEY
QUESTION WE'RE AKING IS
WHETHER OR NOT THAT THERE ARE
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES-
EFFICIENCIES THAT COULD BE PUT
FORWARD THAT WAS IT WOULD
RESULT IN AND SAVINGS AS WELL.
I IN THE IN THE MONTHS AND
WEEKS DIRECTLY AFTER THAT IN
MARCH AND APRIL AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY THE HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES AGENCY WAS VERY.
PROACTIVE AND PROVIDING
DIFFERENT GUIDANCE AND
DIFFERENT RULES TO ALLOW SOME
FLEXIBILITY AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
AND FOR RECIPIENTS. IS THERE
ANYTHING THAT WE LEARN FROM
THAT THAT COULD HELP STREAMLINE
AND LEVY IT COST PRESSURES AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL. I'M NOT
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WE'RE
INTERESTED IN EXPLORING- WITH
THAT THAT INCLUDES THAT
CONCLUDES MY- OPENING COMMENTS
AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MISSPELLED
ON NOW I'D LIKE A

LEVEL OVERVIEW AND THEN WE'LL
TURN IT OVER TO ADAM ADD TO
DELVE INTO THE FOR- FOR CASTING
THE FISCAL FORECASTING AND THE
NUANCES. BEHIND THEM A REVISION.
I'LL START BY SAYING FIVE. AGO
WE DELIVER TO YOU ABOUT YOUR
PROPOSAL CLUB LOOK DRASTICALLY
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE
PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY. IN
JANUARY ARE BUDGET PROPOSED A
RADICAL SHIFT IN THE STATE'S
INVOLVEMENT TO HOUSE THE MANY
AND SHELTERS PERSONS LIVING. IN
CALIFORNIA BY LAUNCHING THE
CALIFORNIA ACCESS TO HOUSING
AND SERVICES FUND. IN JANUARY
ARE BUDGET PROPOSED TO BUILD ON
MAJOR INVESTMENTS MADE IN THE
LAST FEW YEARS TEXT. TO EXPAND
THE I. T. SEE AN INCREASE CAL
WORKS GRANT BY INCREASING THE
AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT
PAYMENTS RETAIN BY FAMILIES ON
CAL WORKS. IN JANUARY ARE
BUDGET MADE ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENTS TO CONTINUE THE
MOMENTUM ON AFFORDABILITY AND
COVERAGE ON THAT CALIFORNIA'S
HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM.
SPECIFICALLY WE PROPOSED A BOLD
PLANS TO ADDRESS HEALTH CARE
COST TRENDS STRENGTHENED
CALIFORNIA'S PUBLIC OPTION
LOWER PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES
AND CONTINUE PROGRESS TOWARD
UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. IN
JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSED THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF A PERFORMANCE
INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR
DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES. AND
MINISTER TO REGIONAL CENTERS TO
INCREASE BOTH THE QUALITY OF
SERVICES AND ALSO ADDRESS THE
DISPARITIES AND SERVICES.
HOWEVER TODAY WE FACE A
RADICALLY DIFFERENT REALITY THE
EFFECTS OF THE NOVEL
CORONAVIRUS OR WHAT WE REFER TO
COVER NINETEEN. ARE
UNPRECEDENTED IN MODERN TIMES.
IT'S CALLED ENORMOUS HARDSHIPS
FOR FAMILIES BUSINESSES
GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES
AND ESPECIALLY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. AS A REMINDER
EIGHTY THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED
AND THIRTY CALIFORNIANS HAVE
BEEN INFECTED BY THIS VIRUS AND
THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED
AND TWO NEIGHBORS OF OURS HAVE
PASSED AWAY FROM THIS VIRUS.
SIMPLY PUT OUR LIFE HAVE
CHANGED AS WE KNOW ROOM. FOR
THE STATE COOPER NINETEEN HAS
SWIFTLY BROUGHT ON AN ECONOMIC
RECESSION AND GROWING DECLINING
TAX REVENUE RAPIDLY RISING
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
CASELOAD AND BILLIONS AN
ADDITIONAL COST TO COMPACT THE
SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS. AS A
RESULT THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT
MAY REVISION AND SO DIFFERENT
FROM WHERE WE WERE IN JANUARY
AND TO THE ITEMS THAT I ALLUDED
TO IN JUST A MOMENT AGO. IN
TOTALITY THE ADMINISTRATION
APPROACH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
MAY REVISION BY FIRST
PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH.
PUBLIC SAFETY AND PUBLIC
EDUCATION. BY PROVIDING
ASSISTANCE TO SMALL BUSINESSES
AND CALIFORNIA'S MOST HURT BY
THE PANDEMIC AND BY INVESTING
IN SAFE AND- INVESTING IN A
SAFE AND QUICK ECONOMIC
RECOVERING. WHEN WE LOOKED AT
THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
PROGRAMS AND DEPARTMENTS ARE
APPROACH TO DEVELOPING THEM A
REVISION TO ADDRESS THE UDGET
SHORTFALL WAS GUIDED BY THE
FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES. FIRST WE
WANTED TO PROTECT THE LIABILITY
FOR PROGRAMS SECOND WE LOOK TO
CANCEL OR DEFERRED NEW
INITIATIVES THAT WERE PROPOSED
AS PART OF THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET IN JANUARY. AND THE
THIRD WE LOOK TO CANCEL OR DID
REDUCE SPENDING THAT WAS ADDED
TO THE TWENTY NINETEEN BUDGET
ACT. IN SHORT AND TO BOTTOM
LINE WE WERE TRYING TO SERVE
MORE PEOPLE WITH LESS SERVICES
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE IN
MEDICAL PROGRAM ALONE. WE'RE
PROJECTING FOURTEEN FOUR POINT
FIVE MILLION BENEFICIARIES
THAT'S UP TO MILLION THAT'S
WHAT WE HAD IN JANUARY. IN OUR
CAL WORKS PROGRAM OUR AVERAGE
MONTHLY CASE MOD IS GROWING BY
ONE HUNDRED AND TWO PERCENT. TO
ABOUT SEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR
THOUSAND CLIENTS. TOGETHER WE
DID FLATTEN THE COVER NINETEEN
CURVE AND SAVE LIVES NOW WE ARE
CONFRONTED WITH THIS THE STEEP
AN UNPRECEDENTED ECONOMICS
CRISIS. WE KNOW THAT BEHIND
EVERY BUDGET CUTS IS A PERSON
OR A FAMILY BEING IMPACTED. AS
THE GOVERNOR HAS NOTED BEFORE
WE HAVE THE TALENT THE DRIVE
THE DIVERSITY AND THE WORK
ETHIC. NOT ONLY TO PRESERVE
BEER BUT TO OVERCOME THESE
UNPRECEDENTED TIMES. WE ARE
STRONG OF WELL AND GENEROUS OF
SPIRIT WE FACED AND FACE DOWN
ON ANTICIPATED DIVERSITY AND
EVERYTIME EMERGE STRONGER THAN
EVER. IT TRULY IS CALIFORNIA
STORY AND IT THIS IS THE BILL
THE LATEST CHAPTER IN THAT
STORY. SO I THANK YOU FOR
GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE
PURE BEFORE YOU YOU AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO ANSWERING ANY
QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO.
THANK YOU MISTER MEET THANK YOU
MISTER BEACH AND NOW I'D LIKE
TO ASK FOR THE REPRESENTATIVE
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
ADAM DORSEY WHO IS JOINING US
FROM THE WITNESS VIDEO ROOM TO
PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH ANY
ADDITIONAL FRAMING AND
PERSPECTIVE THAT YOU CAN
REGARDING THE MAY REVISION.
MISTER DORSEY IS THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE AS PROGRAM BUDGET
MANAGER FOR THE HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES MISTER DORSEY
PLEASE BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE READY.
THE GROUP ID NINETEEN PANDEMIC
IS CAUSED ENORMOUS HARDSHIP FOR
FAMILIES BUSINESSES AND
GOVERNMENTS ACROSS THE WORLD.
IT IS IN DANGER HELP STRESS THE
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND CAUSED
DEVASTATING LOSSES IN FAMILY
AND BUSINESS AND GO.
CALIFORNIA'S PRUDENT FISCAL
MANAGEMENT INCLUDING IT
STRUCTURALLY BALLOTS BUDGET AND
RECORD RESERVES PUTS IT IN A
MUCH BETTER POSITION THAN OTHER
GOVERNMENTS TO CONTEND WITH
THESE CHALLENGES. HOWEVER THE
EFFECT OF THE KOBE RECESSION ON
THE STATE BUDGET ARE MASSIVE.
SUBSTANTIAL FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
IS ESSENTIAL TO SAFEGUARD CORE
GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS AS WELL AS
TO SUPPORT A SAFE AND QUICK
ECONOMIC RECOVERY. THE DOUBLE
THE REVISION REALLY ATTEMPTS TO
ADDRESS THESE BUDGET SHORTFALLS.
BUT MAINTAIN A WOULD YOU
BILLION FOR CORE SERVICES. AND

BEEN STRUCTURED TRY TO ADDRESS
THE ISSUES I. PLAN TO GO INTO
MORE DETAIL ABOUT SOME OF THE
INDIVIDUAL- ITEMS IN THE BUDGET

BUDGET- WHERE ARE THOSE KIDS
GOING TO GOAL AND HOWEVER ARE
RETAIN IT ARE WE GOING TO
INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR THE
FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION. I THINK IT'S
A YOU'VE HAD ON ONE OF THE
OTHER CRITERIA THAT WE ARE
THINKING ABOUT WITH EACH OF
THESE PROPOSALS. IS ONE ABOUT
COST SHIFTING AND MAKING SURE
THAT WHEN THERE ARE REDUCTIONS
THAT WE ALSO THINK ABOUT. WHERE
THE SHIFT MAY BE AND WHETHER
THAT'S TO OTHER STATE
DEPARTMENT OR OTHER LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT. SHOULD BE SOMETHING
THAT IS ON OUR MINDS- YOUR
SPECIFIC QUESTION IS NOT ONE

DEPARTMENT OF CHILD. SUPPORT
SERVICES. WITH THAT I WOULD
LIKE TO NOW- HANDED OVER TO
ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRAZIER. LEAVE
HAS A QUESTION FOR THE DIRECTOR
OF- DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL
SERVICES. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR. LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS
THAT HAVE BEEN SHARED WITH US
IN THE MAY REVISE ON THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL
SERVICES. WE LOOK AT. IN THE
YEARS PAST ALL OF THE UNFUNDED
PROCESSES THAT WERE THAT WERE
IN PLACE AND THEN THIS LAST
YEAR THE RATE STUDY WAS
PROVIDED. THE SHOW A TWO POINT
TWO BILLION DOLLAR UNDER
FUNDING. OF SERVICES TO THE
POPULATION OR DEFERRED SERVICES
FUNDING. SO HERE WE GO MOVING
FORWARD. LOOKING AT THREE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS WORTH
OF CUTS. WHAT THE CENSUS
CONTINUES TO GROW BY 2225% OVER
TEN YEARS. OF THE POPULATION.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ATTRITION
RATE OF MARRIAGE BETWEEN
HUSBAND AND WIFE DUE TO THE- OF
STRAIN. OF UP ADDITIONAL OF
CARE NEEDED FOR THE INDIVIDUALS
THAT HAVE ADD OR SPECIAL NEEDS
WHEN DO WE WHEN WE ASSUME. THAT
TO THE LANHAM ACT THAT THE
STANDARD OF CARE THE SUPPORT
THAT IS DESERVED. OF THE
POPULATION WHOSE YOU KNOW
DEPENDING ON US ONLY US. TO
PROVIDING QUALITY OF LIFE
SUSTAINABILITY AND HOPE FOR ALL
OF THE THINGS THAT WE HOLD DEAR.
AND BUT EVERY TIME THAT WE COME
TO SOME KIND OF SITUATION LIKE
THIS. WE CUT THEM. AND THERE.
THIS JUST SEEMS LIKE WE THAT'S
OUR GO TO. AND I'M LOOKING FOR
ANSWERS. NUMBER ONE. WHERE DO
THE HEALTH PLANS COME IN. WHEN
YOU LOOK AT OUR EIGHT POINT
SOMETHING BILLION DOLLARS THAT
WE FUND TO THE REGIONAL CENTERS.
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE
OBLIGATION OF HELPING ISN'T IN
THESE INDIVIDUALS. IS HOW MUCH
TO THE HEALTH PLANS HELP US IN
THIS IN THIS POPULATION. AND
SHOULD THEY HAVE TO STEP UP.
BECAUSE IT IS A DUALLY
DIAGNOSED DISABILITY. AND OTHER
FACETS OF HEALTH CARE IT'S FUND.
FULLY BUT YET WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THIS POPULATION WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT WHO HAVE. EXTRAORDINARY
NEEDS OR MEDICALLY FRAGILE. AND
LOOK AT. SOCIETY AS A WHOLE
WHEN WE LOOK AT THEM AND WE
WANT TO CRACK CREATE INCLUSIVE.
TOGETHERNESS WITH THIS
POPULATION NO WE HAVE
UNEMPLOYMENT WHICH IS 83% THE
SPECIALIST POPULATION WHERE DO
WE WHERE DO WE GO I MEAN WHEN
DO WE STOP TECHNOLOGY I MEAN WE
DID IT WITH PROP NINETY EIGHT
WITH EDUCATION WE GAVE A
STANDARD OF FUNDING THAT WAS.
EXPECTED BY THE LEGISLATURE.
AND BY THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA
TO FULLY FUND TO PROP NINETY
EIGHT STANDARDS FOR EDUCATION.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO. TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS NEED DOES
NOT GO AWAY BUT YEAH IT GROWS.
OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. AND I'M
JUST LOOKING FOR SOME SOLUTIONS
WITH. MY COLLEAGUES HERE ON
THIS COMMITTEE- BECAUSE BECOMES
FRUSTRATING AT A POINT WHERE AS-
WE MAKE SOME GAMES WE DID SOME
SIGNIFICANT GAINS WITH MR TING
LASHER OF FOUR HUNDRED AND
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
AND THEN WE TAKE TWO STEPS
FORWARD. AND THREE BACK. AND
YOU KNOW I'M SEEING THE THREE
TO FIVE YEAR OLDS ARE NOT
PICKED UP AGAIN. THIS IS THE
MOST INFLUENTIAL. TIME OF THESE
PEOPLE THESE THESE LITTLE GUYS
LIVES THE WHERE THEY CAN BE THE
MOST PRODUCTIVE IN IN THEIR
GAMES. AND I NEED TO KNOW. I
MEAN WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE
THINGS. BROUGHT UP HERE HOW CAN
WE. MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THIS
POPULATION. AND WALK AWAY HERE
FROM THIS. PROCESS KNOWING WE
DID OUR BEST WE DID OUR BEST
FOR THIS POPULATION BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE ANYBODY BUT US.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLYMEMBER
FRAZIER I BELIEVE- AND KNOW
THAT YOU'VE BEEN A LONG TERM
CHAMPION FOR THIS GROUP. AND
WANT YOUR QUESTION TO BE
DIRECTED AT DIRECTOR BARGE MEN
IF SHE'S AVAILABLE. HI. HI THIS
IS NANCY PARCHMENT. PERFECT I.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR THANK
YOU ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRAZIER FOR
THAT THAT- QUESTION AND THE
CONCERNED FOR OUR POPULATION- I
I'D LIKE TO JUST TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE
STRATEGIES AND CERTAINLY
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CHALLENGE
THAT YOU KNOW OUR FAMILIES HAVE
FACED OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS
AND CERTAINLY DURING THE TIME
IN WHICH WE HAD REDUCTIONS IN
PRIOR YEARS AND THE FORTITUDE
OF OUR OUR COMMUNITY REALLY
PULLED TOGETHER BACK IN EIGHT
OH NINE TAKING A LOOK AT HOW WE
CAN REALLY TAKE- THE STRONG
STRATEGY IS RECOGNIZING THE
IMPACT TO OUR COMMUNITY IS ONE
THAT WE DON'T TAKE LIGHTLY- I A
COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT TO
JUST SHARE WITH YOU WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT THE- THE APPROACH
TO. IDENTIFYING THE COST SAVING
MEASURES THERE'S A NUMBER OF
THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO PUT AS
A PRIORITY AND MAKE SURE THAT
WE WERE VERY SENSITIVE TO AND
MAKING SME OF THE VERY
DIFFICULT DECISIONS- IN LOOKING
AT THE WORK WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE WERE VERY
SENSITIVE TO THE UNDERSERVED
POPULATION AND SO WITH EACH OF
THE STRATEGIES THAT WE ARE
LOOKING AT WE WANTED TO BE
MINDFUL OF THE LOWER. INCOME
FAMILIES THAT MAY BE RECEIVING
IMPACTS FROM AND NEVER NUMBER
OF THE STRATEGIES THAT ARE
HAVING TO BE ADDRESSED IN BEING
RESPONSIVE TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS AND THE AFFECTING
RECESSION AND ECONOMIC IMPACT
YOU KNOW IN THAT AREA AND SO
WHAT WHEN WE'RE TAKING A LOOK
AT THE PROPOSALS THAT WE PUT
FORWARD YOU KNOW IN A COST
SHARING WERE IDENTIFYING THE
COST SHARING AND REDUCING THE
IMPACT TO THE LOWER INCOME
FAMILY WELL TAKING A LOOK AT
THAT THE STRATEGIES INTO A KIND
OF THOUGHT. OF IT TAYLOR UP YOU
KNOW YOU ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRAZIER
TALKED ABOUT WITH OUR SERVICE
PROVIDERS AND REALLY DATA OVER
THE YEARS ROCKY THE ON. THE
RATE REDUCTION. LOOKING OUT OF.
THAT IS MORE ABOUT- IDENTIFYING
SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ACROSS THE
BOARD BUT USING THAT RATE STUDY
TO HELP INFORM US FOR A PAYMENT
REDUCTION. CERTAINLY WE
RECOGNIZE THAT HAVING TO WORK
WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS ON
STRATEGIES WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK
AT- THE PAYMENTS. FROM
REDUCTION AT TWO OUT YEARS WHAT
IS THE WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO
TO MAKE SURE THAT WERE WERE
WORKING WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS
TO IDENTIFY. THOSE STRATEGIES
AS WE DID IN EIGHT OR NINE SO
WHILE CURRENT YEAR WE DO. NEED
TO MAKE A VERY STRONG PROPOSAL
TO MEETING- THE IMMEDIATE NEED.
IN THE ARE BUDGET YOU'RE IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE BUT REALLY
WANT TO HAVE A FULLY ENGAGE
CONVERSATION WITH OUR COMMUNITY
AS TO WHAT OF THOSE. THOSE
THINGS THAT WE REALLY NEED TO
THINK ABOUT FOR A FUTURE. AS TO
HOW TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE
IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT YOU'RE
BRINGING UP- ONE OF THE AREAS
THAT- ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRAZIER
THAT YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT WE'VE
HEARD FROM MARK- I NEVER
STAKEHOLDERS TO IS HOW DO WE-
LOOK AT OTHER RESOURCES SO NOT
ONLY AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE
MAXIMIZING THE FEDERAL.
PARTICIPATION BUT LOOKING AT
THAT GENERIC RESOURCES THAT MAY
BE AVAILABLE IN THIS SERVICE
COORDINATION AND THE- SYSTEM
CORD NATION IF YOU WILL.
BETWEEN OUR OTHER SYSTEMS TO
SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES. I'LL GIVE
YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES SO
WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
FEDERAL FUNDING. YEAH THERE ARE
A NUMBER OF THINGS WE'VE
IDENTIFIED WAYS THAT WE CAN
ENHANCE OUR ADMINISTRATIVE
FEDERAL FUNDING WE'VE
IDENTIFIED WAYS THAT WE WOULD
BE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE. THE
PARTICIPANTS ON ON MEDI CAL
THROUGH INSTITUTIONAL DENEEN
YOU KNOW BUT ALSO TAKING A LOOK
AT HOW DO WE ACCESS TO GENERIC
RESOURCES THROUGH HEALTH PLANS.
LIKELY DURING TRAINING WITH THE
SERVICE COORDINATORS AT THE
REGIONAL CENTER TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE- EQUIPPED WITH
THE TOOLS TO SUPPORT A FAMILY
MEMBER. IN ACCESSING THOSE
RESOURCES BUT ALL THE WHILE
PROVIDING A LEVEL OF A SAFETY
NET- TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR MOST
VULNERABLE ARE RECEIVING THE
SERVICES THAT THEY NEED. TO
HAVE INSURANCE OF SUPPORTS IN
ADDRESSING- THE NEEDS OF THE
INDIVIDUALS WORDS AS WELL AS
THE EMERGENT NEEDS- RELATED TO
HEALTH AND SAFETY. WE HAVE NOT
ELIMINATED OUR STATUTE THAT
ALLOWS US TO- PROVIDE SOME
HEALTH AND SAFETY- AS FAR AS
ALL OF OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY
WAIVERS THESE ARE THINGS THAT
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE REMAIN AS
A SAFETY NET TO OUR FAMILIES.
YOU KNOW WELL WE DO HAVE SOME
SAID STRATEGIES THAT ARE PUT
FORWARD THAT ARE- CERTAINLY
SENSITIVE- WE DO WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WERE ABLE TO BE ABLE
TO SUPPORT THE- INDIVIDUALS
THAT WE SERVE IN THE BEST WAY
THAT WE CANNOT. WITH THOSE
RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO US- WE
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
OUR STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITY ARE
SELF ADVOCATES THEIR FAMILY
MEMBERS THE OTHER AT OTHER OUT
BECAUSE THAT THAT ARE
PASSIONATELY ADVOCATING FOR
POPULATION AND IDENTIFYING.
WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE MAY
BE ABLE TO DO THAT IS CREATIVE
IN APPROACHING SERVICES. I'M
LEARNED A LOT THROUGH. HOPE
NINETEEN AND ARE SO. TO BE ****
AND INNOVATIVE AND THOSE ARE
THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO
EXPLORE AND SEE ARE THERE SOME
LONGER TERM STRATEGIES THAT
WILL BE. A BENEFIT TO OUR
SYSTEM- AND CERTAINLY TELE
SERVICE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES AND
THOSE ARE ALL THE THINGS THAT
WE'RE GONNA BE EXPLORED IN THE
COMING WEEKS IN THE COMING
MONTHS- AND LOOK FORWARD TO.
ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS WITH
THIS COMMITTEE AS WELL. HAPPY
TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS. ASSEMBLYMEMBER
FRAZIER THANK YOU DIRECTOR
MARGIN SO ESSENTIALLY BASED ON
THE OTHER LINE THAT YOU'VE
PROVIDED WHAT DIRECT SERVICES
WILL BE. REMOVED OR NOT
PROVIDED TO THE ID POPULATION
AT THIS POINT THAT THEY WERE
ONCE GETTING. SO THINKING OF
THE AGAIN NANCY PARCHMENT
DIRECTOR DDS- THE SERVICES THAT
THEY WOULD NOT BE RECEIVING
WE'VE NOT ELIMINATED I'M TRYING
TO THINK BACK AND I'LL HAVE TO
CORRECTIVE IF I AM INCORRECT
BUT WE'RE NOT ELIMINATING THE
SERVICE SO WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK
AT HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE-
MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PAYMENT
REDUCTIONS FOR SERVICES IT'S
NOT ELIMINATION OF THE SERVICE-
BUT IT IS A PAYMENT REDUCTION
TO THE SERVICE PROVIDERS
PROVIDING THE SERVICES- WHEN
WE'RE LOOKING AT. REDUCING THE
REGIONAL CENTER OPERATIONS- WE
ARE ADDING IN THE END SOME
FLEXIBILITY FOR THEM IN
MANAGING THEIR CASELOAD AS IT'S
BEEN NOTED THAT WE HAD A GROWTH
IN OUR OUR CASELOAD EACH YEAR-
PRIOR YEAR IT'S BEEN BETWEEN
FIFTEEN TO EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
INDIVIDUALS EACH YEAR- WE DO
HAVE INCLUDED IN. THE I MAY
REVISE THE FUNDING TO GO FOR
THOSE CASELOAD- SUPPORTS AND SO
THE SERVICE COORDINATOR
CASELOAD WOULD STILL BE
SUPPORTED THROUGH THAT WHILE
THEY DO HAVE A- THIRTY MILLION
DOLLAR PROJECTED GENERAL FUND
DECREASE- WE HAVE AS I
INDICATED AND INCLUDED SOME
ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY IS FOR
THEM TO BE ABLE TO PRIORITIZE
AS YOU HAD MENTIONED. THE EARLY
INTERVENTION SIDE OF THE
CHILDREN WHO ARE MOVING FROM
EARLY START INTO SCHOOL AGE SO
THE REGIONAL CENTERS EED TO DO
SOME- MANAGEMENT TO CASELOAD
WAITING SO INCREASING- THE-
SERVICE COORDINATOR TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEIR SERVICE
COORDINATOR RATIOS ARE
RESPONSIVE TO THE YOUNGER KIDS.
REGIONAL CENTERS WOULD HAVE THE
ABILITY TO MATCH THAT AND THEN
IDENTIFY THOSE AREAS IN WHICH
AB ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO
SERVICE COORDINATION- MAY BE
APPROPRIATE TO STOP ME. ONE
EXAMPLE THAT IS THAT REGIONAL
CENTERS KANSEN TO DEPARTMENT
AND ALTERNATE CASELOAD RATIO OR
SERVICE COORDINATION. SO IF
THEY SEE THAT THEY HAVE A-
PARTICULAR POPULATION THAT THEY
CAN MAKE PHONE CALLS OR DO
REMOTE SERVICES OVER- A COUPLE
TIMES A YEAR. AND THAT WOULD
MEET THEIR NEEDS THAT WOULD
MEAN THAT A SERVICE COORDINATOR
COULD HAVE A HIGHER CASELOAD
RATIO AS COMPARED TO MAYBE.
THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED A
MORE INTENSIVE SUPPORT. SO
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT- AS FAR AS NOT BEING
ABLE TO GET SERVICES WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO
IDENTIFY. YOU KNOW WHAT ARE
GOING TO BE THE GAPS- BY- THE
STRATEGIES THAT WE'RE PUTTING
FORWARD IN PROPOSALS WERE
PUTTING FORWARD- BUT AT THIS
TIME WE'RE NOT IDENTIFIED
ANYTHING THAT IS A SERVICE
THAT'S BEING ELIMINATED. AND
JUST ONE MORE QUESTION. SO WE.
UP TO THIS POINT BEFORE THIS
PANDEMIC WE DID HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH ATTAINING- THROUGH THE
PROVIDERS ENOUGH MANPOWER TO
SERVICE THE POPULATION AND IF
WE DID WAS A HUGE TURN OVER
THERE WAS A CONTEST YOU KNOW WE
HAD- EQUITY PROBLEMS THAT WE
YOU KNOW WE DIDN'T PAY WELL IN
THIS IN THIS YOU KNOW MINIMUM
WAGE WHEN WE HAVE. OF SUCH OF
THE QUALITY OF CARE THAT'S
NEEDED- ALMOST LIKE A- KIND OF
A NURSING ASSISTANT KIND OF
ROLE WITH MEDICALLY FRAGILE AND
ALL OF THE THINGS WE'VE
DISCUSSED- GOING FORWARD. WE
STILL HAVE THAT NECESSITY FOR
WHEN YOU HAVE THE PURCHASE OF
SERVICES THROUGH THE PROVIDER
OF EITHER THE RESPITE
INDIVIDUAL OR OR BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH BEHAVIORAL YOU KNOW
HEALTH AND YEAH. HE A NECESSITY
FOR ANYTHING THAT THAT THE
INDIVIDUAL NEEDS TO SUCH A WIDE
VARIETY OF NEEDS. AND YOU KNOW
GOING FORWARD IN TRYING TO GET
A POPULATION OF WORK FOR HER
WALK WORK FORCE THAT CAN
ACTUALLY BE EFFECTIVE. AND NOT
HAVE A TRANSITION- OR TURN OVER
HAS BEEN A PROBLEM GOING FOR
NOW NO WITH THIS. DO YOU
FORESEE. IT BEING PROBLEMATIC
GOING FORWARD ARE WE STEPPING
BACK IN OUR ABILITY TO BE ABLE
TO ATTAIN THIS WORKFORCE OR DO
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD
PLANNED TO BE ABLE TO. MAKE
THAT INVESTMENT GOING FORWARD
IN SOME FORM OR FASHION TO BE
ABLE TO ADVANCE THE CARE. THANK
YOU ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRAZIER THAT
WE ARE AND I'M PRESIDENT OF
TIME. SO TO SAY WHAT WE CAN FOR
SEE- I WILL TELL YOU THAT IT IS
GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE TO KNOW
WHAT IT IS THAT. IS GOING TO
CAN BE OUR NEW NORMAL AND I SAY
THAT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST
WITH THE- COALBED PUBLIC HEALTH
RECESSION BUT IT ALSO HAS TO DO
WITH HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE
DELIVERING SERVICES SO WE HAVE
TO HAVE A COLLABORATIVE
DISCUSSION AND SAY. YOU KNOW
WHAT IS THIS LOOK LIKE SO EVEN
TRYING TO OPEN UP SERVICES-
POST YOU KNOW THIS THE NEXT FEW%
MONTHS AND THE NEXT. YOU KNOW
ME EVEN WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR SO
IN IN ACCESSING CONGREGATE
SETTING IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE
DONE WITH A LOT OF CARE WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO BE SMART ABOUT
IT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT
PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK. AND ARE
YOU I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
THINK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WE
STARTED THIS ALREADY WITH OUR
SERVICE PROVIDERS AND WITH SOME
OF THE REGIONAL CENTERS AND WE
NEED TO DO THIS AS WELL WITH
OUR SELF ADVOCATES. AS WE'RE
LOOKING AT A RESIDENTIAL
SERVICES AND ACCESS SEEN DAY
SERVICES IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW
WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN THE
INDICATORS YOU KNOW SIMILAR TO
YOU KNOW CERTAINLY THOSE THAT
THE SMART WORK IS BEING DONE
FOR THE STATE YOU KNOW HOW TO
WE ALSO BE SENSITIVE TO THOSE
HIGH RISK NEEDS IF YOU WERE
JUST INDICATING. INDIVIDUALS OF
COMPLEX MEDICAL NEEDS AS AN
EXAMPLE YOU KNOW WILL WIN IS
THAT DAY THAT WE'RE GONNA BE
ABLE TO SAY SOMEBODY WHO HAS.
CONGER GET DAY SETTING IT MAY
BE AWHILE SO HOW DO WE CAN TO
REALLY DEFINE THAT SERVICE FOR
THAT INDIVIDUAL AND WE NEED TO
DEAL DEBT THAT ALONG WITH.
CHANGING HOW WE MOVE FORWARD
AND ALSO A ECONOMIC RECESSION
SO. I WISH I HAD IT A REALLY
CLEAR ANSWER THAT'S GOING TO BE
ABLE TO SAY THIS IS EXACTLY HOW
WE'RE GOING TO DO IT THIS IS
WHERE OUR GAPS ARE GOING TO BE
AND THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO
MITIGATE THOSE REST. BUT WE
NEED TO HAVE BEEN ENGAGE
CONVERSATION WITH OUR COMMUNITY
WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THOSE
VALUES AND PRINCIPLES THAT ARE
THE PRIORITY FOR DELIVERING
SERVICES START IDENTIFYING HOW
WE CAN KEEP PEOPLE SAFE AND
THEN START USING YOU KNOW OUR
OUR WORK TOGETHER AS A
COMMUNITY. AND TO WHAT OTHER
STEPS AND THEN WHAT IT DOES THE
ACTIONS THAT WE NEED TO TAKE TO
MAKE SURE WE CAN A PROVIDE
SERVICES AND BE MINIMIZED THE
REST- SO WE HAVE TO WORK
TOGETHER ON THIS I MEAN THERE'S
NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT YOU
KNOW WE HAVE THE COMMUNITY
THAT'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
THIS HAPPEN- IT'S NOT GOING TO
B DONE WITHOUT. SOME
CHALLENGES OBVIOUSLY AND- WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO HAVE FREQUENT
CONVERSATIONS AND- IMPLEMENT
SOME IMMEDIATE STRATEGIES TO BE
RESPONSIVE TO THE ECONOMIC
RECESSION- BUT AT THE SAME TIME
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
COLLABORATE TO IDENTIFY HOW DO
WE HAVE THAT SAFETY NET. AND
THEN WHAT IS OUR LONGER TERM
STRATEGY. THANK YOU DIRECTOR
BIRDMAN- WE ARE GOING TO NOW
MOVE ON TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MATHIS FOLLOWED BY CHAIR TING.
DIRECTOR BARGE MEN- MY QUESTION
IS IN RELATION WITH THE RATIO
SEVERAL OF OUR OUR PROGRAMS AS
YOU MENTIONED AND AS MR FRAZIER
DIMENSION. IS THERE GOING TO BE
FLEXIBILITY TO MOVE SOME OF
THESE RATIOS SAY FROM A OF. ONE
THREE TO LIKE A ONE FOUR- SO WE
CAN HAVE THE PROVIDERS CAN HAVE
THE ABILITY TO CUT AND SAVE ON
THE BUDGETS BUT YET KEEP
SERVICES AND PROGRAMS RUNNING
IS THAT BEING LOOKED AT AND IS
OUR PROBABILITY OF THAT
HAPPENING. THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MATHIS WIT. THE
DIFFERENT STRATEGIES TO HELP
PROVIDE SOME FLEXIBILITY IS
FOR- SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE
DELIVERY OF THEIR SERVICE IS
DEFINITELY A STRATEGY THAT WE
HAD DISCUSSIONS FOR AND PRIOR
RECESSIONS- AND I THINK THAT IS
CERTAINLY GOING TO BE PART OF
OUR ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH
OUR PROVIDERS- WE WILL BE
MEETING WITH OUR DEVELOPMENTAL
SERVICES TASK FORCE THIS WEEK
TUESDAY IT TO HAVE THE INITIAL
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DIFFERENT
STRATEGIES. AND I WOULD WELCOME
IDEAS SUCH AS THAT AND OTHERS
TO BE ABLE TO PRIORITIZE TO
HELP THE PROVIDERS BE ABLE TO
NAVIGATE WITH THE CHANGES THAT
ARE COMING FORWARD WITH-
PAYMENT REDUCTION IF ADOPTED
AND IS THAT SOMETHING THAT
WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO LOOK AT
AS FAR AS PUTTING THOSE
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE LEE WAYS
AND- BUDGET TRAILER BILL OR IS
THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE ABLE TO
HANDLE FROM THE DEPARTMENT
DIRECTLY. YEAH WE WOULD BE MORE
THAN HAPPY THOSE ARE THE
CONVERSATIONS WERE GOING TO
HAVE AND TALKING THROUGH. HOW
WE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE STEPS
YOU KNOW TO LOOK AT THE SERVICE
DELIVERY WITH THAT WOULD BE
ASSOCIATED SAY WITH THE PAYMENT
pGENERAL. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
THAT WOULD BE AND HOW USING
TELE SERVICE SO WE'RE GONNA BE
SUBMITTING A I REQUEST AN
APPLICATION- TO OUR WAVERED
AMENDMENT TO OUR- FEDERAL
WAIVER. TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND
TELE SERVICE AND DIFFERENT
STUDY. SO WE'RE GOING TO WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT WERE HAVING
THAT CONVERSATION IT WOULD NOT
NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE AN
TRAILER BILL SPECIFICALLY WHILE
THE WEEK THIS PARTICULAR ONE WE
DO HAVE INCLUDED- BUT I AM- AS
WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN VERY OPEN
TO WORKING WITH OUR
STAKEHOLDERS AND- IDENTIFYING
THOSE STRATEGIES TO BE ABLE TO-
IMPLEMENTS. POLICY IN THE LAST
UNSAFE SAFEST WAY. YOU. THANK
YOU THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I
WAS OPEN TO ASK LA- A QUESTION
ABOUT THE ON SPREAD SHEET THE
PAGE ONE OF THEIR ANALYSIS. IF
YOU CAN. THE PARTICULAR SHE CAN
WALK THROUGH THE CAL WORKS LINE
ITEM. THIS IS A QUESTION THIS
IS A QUESTION FOR AWHILE.
CERTAINLY CERTAINLY SO WHAT
YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS THE
ADMINISTRATION'S ESTIMATE OF
THE CHARACTER GENERAL FUND
PRESSURE. THAT IT WILL
EXPERIENCE IT'S PRIMARILY THE
RESULT OF A SIGNIFICANT
INCREASES IN ESTIMATED CASELOAD
BOTH IN THE CURRENT YEAR IN THE
BUDGET YEAR SO THE CURRENT YEAR
THEY'RE ESTIMATING ABOVE
JANUARY A 10% INCREASE IN THEIR
CASE LOAD. BUT IN IN FOR THE
BUDGET YEAR THEY'RE ESTIMATING
AND OVER A 100% INCREASE
COMPARED TO MAN THE CASELOAD
THAT'S REALLY WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING THE OTHER THING IS THAT
WE ALL HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND
WITH HOW WORKS IS THAT. IT'S
FUNDED BY A COMBINATION OF
FUNDS SO. THE FUNDING YOU SEE
HERE THE ADMINISTRATION IS
PROPOSING TO SPEND. GENERAL
FUND ON IT BUT ALSO ASK THE
MONEY FROM THE- FROM THERE
HUMAN SERVICES RESERVE TO COVER
AT FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION AND ALSO FROM THE CAR
CORONA ROBOT THAT CORRECT CRF
CURRENT NO RELIEF FIND TO FIND
TO COVER THOSE COSTS IN A
CAREER IN THE BUDGET YEAR. BUT
AGAIN IT'S PRIMARILY THE RESULT
OF INCREASED CASELOAD WHICH
THENHAS INCREASES IN
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND OTHER-
SERVICES IN THE CALYX PROGRAM.
IN AND JUST TO CLARIFY THAT THE
MONTHLY EXPENDITURE SO FOR MANY
OF. ON NOT FOR. RIGHT OTHER
OTHER AT THEIR ANNUAL ANNUAL
COSTS. ANNUAL OKAY SO THE
SEARCH SO THE Q. MILLIONS YEAH
IT'S ACUMEN OF NUMBER SO MAY IS
A ONE BILLION DOLLARS
CUMULATIVE. THAT'S ALL THAT
THAT'S SHOWING ACTUALLY IS IT'S
SHOWING YOU UP IN TOTAL WHAT IS
THE ADMINISTRATION ESTIMATE
WOULD BE THAT THE GENERAL FUND
COST OF CAL WORKS IN JANUARY
WHICH IS FIVE HUNDRED AND
SIXTEEN MILLION FOR THE WHOLE
YEAR. AND THEN NOW WHAT IS OUR
UPDATED ESTIMATE ANTHONY
REVISION YEAH I SEE OKAY. THANK
YOU FOR THE JANUARY THE MAY
ARMORED ARE REFERENCING THE
REVISIONS IN THE BUDGET
PROPOSAL OKAY. SO THEY'RE NOT
GOING SO HOME THEY'RE PROPOSING
A ALMOST QUADRUPLING OF. CAL
WORKS SO ONE FROM ONE BILLION
TO ALMOST FOUR BILLION DOLLARS
ON THAT OBVIOUSLY PUT
SIGNIFICANT COST PRESSURE ON
EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE HUMAN
SERVICES BUDGET. ON DO YOU DO
YOU FEEL THAT THAT IS FAIRLY
ACCURATE OR THAT TO ME THAT
SEEMS FAIRLY HIGH ESPECIALLY
GIVEN THAT CAL WORKS NOT EVEN
THE EASIEST PROGRAM IN THE
WORLD TO GET ON TO. IT DID
STAND OUT TO US THAT AS A
REMARKABLE INCREASE AGAIN WE'RE
IN THE VERY EARLY STAGES OF
LOOKING AT IT WE HAVE. HAD
DISCUSSIONS WITH WITH THE
DEPARTMENT AND WE ARE LEARNING
MORE- BUT WE DEFINITELY HAVE
MORE QUESTIONS- ESPECIALLY- OR
ONE OF OUR KEY QUESTIONS IS HOW
IT INTERACTS WITH THE
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROGRAM.
AND HOW IF INDIVIDUALS HAVE
RECENTLY LOST EMPLOYMENT WITH
THEY ENTER- THE UNEMPLOYMENT
SYSTEM AT THE SAME TIME AS CAL
WORKS AND IF SO. WITH THAT HOW
WOULD THAT AFFECT THEIR AVERAGE
GRANT SO EVEN IF THEY ARE AND
BOTH PROGRAMS WITH WITH THEIR
COFFEE LAST SO WE HAVE A- YEAH
BUT A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS
RELATED TO THAT ALONG THE SAME
LINES THAT YOU'RE ASKING. SINCE
SOME OF THOSE WE DON'T HAVE
CLARITY WHETHER OR NOT. PEOPLE
WHO ARE UNEMPLOYED BUT GO ON
UNEMPLOYMENT FIRST AND THEN ON
CAL WORKS. AT SOMETHING WE'RE
TRYING TO LOOK INTO AS WELL-
ESTIMATE ASSUMES THAT IT WOULD
BE CONCURRENT ARE NOT. AND A
LACK OF THIRTY IS MORE RELATED
TO JUST NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME
SINCE THAT THE MAYOR VISION TO
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT WITH
THEM BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH
THEM AND THEY- THEY MET WITH US
JUST AS RECENTLY AS TODAY AS
WELL. GREAT SO IF I IF I COULD
SPEAK TO EITHER FINANCE OR-
WHICH OF REPRESENTED FROM THE
MINISTRATION ON THE CAL WORKS
NUMBER. I'M SURE WERE MISTER
DORSEY. WE'LL IS. I'M SORRY SO
SORRY I GUESS THE QUESTION IF
YOU COULD YOU WALK US THROUGH
THE METHODOLOGY ON THE
QUADRUPLE THE IN ALMOST 40%
INCREASE FROM ON THIS FISCAL
YEAR TO NEXT FISCAL YEAR HOW
YOU. ARRIVED AT IT. YEAH ALL
START AND THEN I CAN- HANDED
OFF THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES THAT THIS IS ADAM
DORSEY FINANCE. SO YEAH I MEAN.
WE TRIED TO DO IS TAKE A LOOK
AT HISTORICAL IMPACT OF
UNEMPLOYMENT ON ON CASE LOAD
AND- TRIED AS BEST WE CAN TO
TRY TO APPLY THAT TO TODAY'S
SITUATION- A KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU
KNOW EVERY ESTIMATE IS NOT
GOING TO BE SPOT ON- BUT THIS
IS A VERY VERY DIFFICULT
ENVIRONMENT TO. JUST SORT OF
MAKE THESE PROJECTIONS AND-
THIS IS KIND OF WHERE WE THINK
IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO BE
OVER THE COURSE OF THAT TWENTY
TWENTY ONE FISCAL YEAR. PRETTY
THAT CAN YOU GIVE US. A LITTLE
MORE DETAIL. WHAT WAS WHAT WAS
THE METHODOLOGY YOU WENT TO
REACH THIS BECAUSE- BECAUSE
YOU'RE BASICALLY ASKING US TO
CUT THREE ALMOST THREE BILLION
DOLLARS OUT OF THE- REST THE
BUDGET BECAUSE OF YOUR ESTIMATE.
I THINK THAT'S ONE WAY OF
LOOKING AT IT THE OTHER WAY OF
LOOKING AT IT IS THAT WE'RE
ASKING TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO
THE PEOPLE THAT WE THINK ARE
GONNA COME INTO THE COLLEGE
PROGRAM OVER THE NEXT YEAR
RIGHT. AT WHAT IF I DON'T I'M
NOT MISTER DORSEY. WELL NOW
WOULD BE. AND WE LOCAL THESE
CUTS AND- ALL WE HAVE IS MONEY
IN THE BANK FOR SERVICES WHEN.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE SO MANY
SENIORS WITH MANY FAMILIES NOT
GETTING SERVICES. AND THEN THE
STATE'S GOT MONEY IN THE BANK
WHICH I REALLY DIDN'T. THE
NEEDS OF THEIR NEEDS NEEDED THE
MONEY TO BE HELPING THESE
FAMILIES AND- THESE INDIVIDUALS.
SURE YEAH I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND
THAT CONCERN- WE SHARE IT- AND-
CERTAINLY WILL BE DOING OUR
BEST TO UPDATE THESE
PROJECTIONS AS YOU KNOW AS- YOU
CAN BE FOUND COULD YOU WALK ME
THROUGH HOW YOU GOT TO THE FOR
BILLING. I'M ALL HANDED OVER TO
SOCIAL SERVICES SEE IF THEY'VE
GOTTEN MORE DETAIL. THERE'S A
LOT OF DETAIL. GOOD AFTERNOON
MR TING MRS CHEN TRYING. TO
DECEIVE HI NICE TO SEE YOU AS
WELL- THAT THEY INCREASE THAT
YOU'RE SEEING IS THE RESULT OF
AN INCREASE IN THE CASE CLOSELY
AT FIVE. AND MORE SPECIFICALLY
THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES WHO WE
EXPECT TO BE ACCESSING THE CAL
WORKS PROGRAM. IN TWENTY TWENTY
ONE JUMPED FROM TWENTY NINETEEN
TWENTY PROJECTION OF FOUR
HUNDRED THOUSAND SLIGHTLY OVER
TWO SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND FAMILIES- AND
THAT'S WHAT'S DRIVING THE COST
INCREASE IN THE PROGRAM. WE'RE
LOOKING FOR AN APPLICATION
TRENDS AND ECONOMIC TRENDS AND
UNEMPLOYMENT. AND THEN DRIVING
FORWARD TO THE NUMBER OF
FAMILIES WE EXPECT TO BE COMING
IN THE DOOR AND YOU NEED TO
SERVE. GOD IN APPRECIATE SO
SOLDIERS JUST TO REPEAT WHAT I
THOUGHT WHAT E JUST DID WAS.
ON THE ESTIMATE IS WE HAVE
ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED FAMILIES
FORTY THOUSAND FAMILIES AROUND
NOW. POTENTIALLY SEVEN HUNDRED
THOUSAND FAMILIES. ABOUT BIRTH
I GUESS I'M JUST OF TRYING TO
STAY ON THE BUDGET MATH BECAUSE
THAT'S NOT QUITE A DOUBLING BUT
THE BUDGETS A QUADRUPLING SO IS
IT BECAUSE YOU ANTICIPATE MORE.
FAMILIES WITH MOM MANY MORE
CHILDREN OR- I'M NOT SURE I
DIDN'T I HAVE NOT HAD THE ELLIE
OWES CHART PREVIOUSLY TO BE
ABLE TO TRY TO IDENTIFY THAT I
THINK PART OF WHAT COULD BE
COMPLICATING THE PICTURE HERE
AND WE CAN WORK WITH THEM MORE
TO TRY TO IDENTIFY IF THIS IS
THE CASE. IS THAT THE GENERAL
FUND AND HANNAH FUNDS ARE
FAIRLY FUNGIBLE AND SO HOW MUCH
WE- ADJUST THE BUDGET THAT
LOOKS LIKE GENERAL FUND VERSUS
THE WAY THAT WE ARE APPLYING
OUR TANNER FUNDS WHICH ARE. ARE
HISTORICALLY ALSO TRANSFERRED
TO OTHER PROGRAMS AND WE'LL BE
BACK TO SOME EXTENT IN THE
PUBLIC PROGRAMS COULD BE
COMPLICATING A LITTLE BIT THE
PICTURE. SO WE CAN WORK WITH
THEM TO TRY TO CROSS REFERENCE
ALL OF MINE ARE VARIOUS STARTS
AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS. AN
ACTUAL INCREASE IN WHAT IS A
HOT SHOWING UP THAT WAY. GREAT
AND I THINK I THINK OUR OUR
OBJECT. WE WANNA TRY TO AS I
DEARLY ANTICIPATE CASELOAD AS
POSSIBLE BIRD GIVE GIVE BRING-
A TIME WE HAVE SO MANY FAMILIES
SUFFERING THE SOMEBODY
POPULATIONS ON THIS CHART
GETTING CAUGHT WOULD RATHER NOT
HAVE TO CUT THOSE SERVICES IF
WE DIDN'T HAVE TO SO I KNOW.
THAT NO PROJECTION IS PERFECT
WE ALL WE ALL KNOW THAT- BUT I
THINK WE ALSO WANT TO BE
CAREFUL NOT TO DO ANYTHING- ANY
ANY UNNECESSARY CUTS THAT WE
DON'T HAVE TO BECAUSE OF THAT.
WE UNDERSTAND THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER
FRAZIER YES THIS IS THE OHIO-
QUESTION TO THEM SO WE HAVE.
THE ANALYSIS BUT DID THE LA ILL
LOOK AT ANY KIND OF THE COOL
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT COST
SHIFTING. THE COST IS TO LOSE
IT IN. HOSPITALIZATION OR
PEOPLE BEING INSTITUTIONALIZED
BECAUSE OF THE REDUCTION IN
SERVICES WHAT THAT WOULD COST
HIM IN. AND IN RESPONSE TO THIS
AND THEN ALSO YOU KNOW- ONE ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T
RECOGNIZE WAS SEA BASS. ONE OF
THE PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA ALREADY- LEAVING THE
SYSTEM. AND THIS IS GOING TO
BE- TRAVEL AND I BELIEVE THAT
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE ABLE AS
ASSERTING IS TALKED ABOUT.
LOOKING AT. PROJECTIONS OF
BEING ABLE TO HAVE A PLAN B.
WHAT IS THE PLAN B. IF THE
PROJECTIONS ARE CORRECT OR OF
COST SHIFTING WASN'T
ACKNOWLEDGED SO. HAS THE LA YOU
LOOK AT THE- END RESULTS OF
COST SHIFTING IF IS SALUTE INST
TO INSTITUTIONALIZING OR
HOSPITALIZATION TECH HAS TO
TAKE PLACE BECAUSE OF
REDUCTIONS OF SERVICES BECAUSE
PEOPLE JUST CAN'T AFFORD TO
PROVIDE IT BASED ON WHAT IS IN
THIS BUDGET. THAT THAT IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE HAD A
CHANCE TO LOOK AT- FOR ALL OF
THESE PROPOSALS AT THIS POINT-
WE'RE STILL TRYING TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE MALL-
BUT I THINK THAT YOUR YOUR
POINT IS A GOOD ONE AND ONE
THAT COMES UP OFTEN IN AND
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
PROGRAMS IS KIND OF. NOT JUST
THINKING ABOUT AT THE SAVINGS
THE IMMEDIATE SAVINGS BUT MAYBE
WHAT WHAT THE POTENTIAL
DOWNSTREAM COSTS COULD BE THOSE
ARE VERY DIFFICULT ESTIMATES TO
MAKE- THEY REQUIRE A LOT OF
ASSUMPTIONS BUT THERE ARE
SOMETHING THAT. WE SHOULD BE
MINDFUL OF- AS AS WERE
EVALUATING THE BUDGET. THANK
YOU AND WITH THAT I SEE NO
FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM
ASSEMBLYMEMBERS I'M GOING TO
BRING IT BACK TO THE CHAIR TO
ASK THE FINAL FEW QUESTIONS.
BUT DO WANT TO THANK THE FELLOW
ASSEMBLYMEMBERS FOR ASKING SUCH
DETAILED QUESTIONS. I JUST WANT
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE MAIN
PURPOSE OF TODAY IS FOR THE
PUBLIC TO. ALLOW US TO HEAR
FROM THEM. BUT BEFORE WE GET TO
THAT I DID WANT TO ASK THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND YOU
MISTER DORSEY IF I COULD. WHICH
OF THE PROPOSED CUTS COULD
POTENTIALLY DEGRADE OUR ABILITY
TO SUCCESSFULLY RECOVER. FROM
THE ECONOMIC RECESSION THAT
WE'RE IN. SO YEAH I MEAN I
THINK THAT'S. I'VE BEEN
IMPORTANT PART OF KIND OF WHAT
WE TRIED TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR BY
MAINTAINING ELIGIBILITY TO
SERVICES SO- BUT THAT THERE IS
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT THAT I'M WE
REALLY NEED ASSISTANCE FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT- THE STATE
IS NOT ABLE. TO WHETHER A
RECESSION OF THIS MAGNITUDE
WITHOUT THAT KIND OF
ASSISTANCE- AND CONTINUED OUR
PROGRAMS THE WAY THAT THEY'RE
CURRENTLY STRUCTURED- AND SO-
THAT IS WHY THAT THE STRUCTURE
WAS PUT IN PLACE TO SAY
REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS WE
WANT TO TRY TO MAINTAIN
ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES. AND
THAT IF WE CAN GET ASSISTANCE
FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WE
CAN AVOID THAT THE MAJORITY OF
THESE REDUCTIONS AND OF RECOVER
MORE QUICKLY AND THAT'S THE
GOAL AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
ABOUT PLANNING FOR. IF I CAN
MISTER DORSEY AND I DO WANT TO
HEAR FROM MR ME H. REGARDING-
THIS NEXT RESPONSE. BUT HOW DID
THE ADMINISTRATION HELP TO
ASSESS WHICH OF THESE CUTS. MAY
FURTHER PUT PUBLIC HEALTH AT
RISK TO OUR MOST VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS. WELL I THINK WHAT
YOU'LL SEE IS THAT. WE HAVE
TRIED TO CONTINUE INVESTMENTS-
IN IN CERTAIN KEY AREAS AND- SO
FOR EXAMPLE IN OUR- IN OUR USE
OF KERR CORONAVIRUS RELIEF
FUNDS AND SAY AND SAY I'M
SENDING COUNTIES- MONEY THROUGH
THAT PROCESS- BUT CERTAINLY
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF
DECISIONS YOU CAN MAKE WITH
THAT WITH A POT OF MONEY LIKE
THAT THAT GIVEN. THE PANDEMIC
THAT WERE INVOLVED IN A THAT
WAS A KEY TO THE BUDGET
STRUCTURE- AND AGAIN NOT
REDUCING ELIGIBILITY FOR
SERVICES I THINK THAT WAS THESE
ARE SOME KIND OF T. PLACES
WHERE WE TRIED TO MANAGE A VERY
VERY DIFFICULT BUDGET
ENVIRONMENT WITH- PANDEMIC
RESPONSE AND TRYING TO-
PRIORITIZE AS BEST WE COULD
GIVEN THE DIFFICULT
CIRCUMSTANCES AND I'M- HAPPY
THAT. ENDED OVER TO MY AGENCY
CALLED. MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
DOCTOR ARAMBULA I MEAN I THINK
THAT YOU KNOW THESE ARE
UNBELIEVABLY DIFFICULT
DECISIONS AT A TIME WHEN WE ARE
ACTIVELY RESPONDING TO A-
WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. OUR GOAL WAS
FIRST AND FOREMOST TO MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO
HAVE- INCOME AND SO AS YOU WILL
SEE THAT IN THE CAL WORKS
PROGRAM IN PARTICULAR WE DID
NOT CUT GRANTS- WE WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAD
INCOME. IN ORDER FOR THEM
WHETHER THIS AND THEN THE
SECOND PIECE REALLY TO DOCTOR
MISTER DARCY'S COMMENT. IS THAT
WE DID NOT WANT TO CUT
ELIGIBILITY TO OUR PROGRAMS BUT
RATHER WHAT WE FOCUSED ON IS.
ELIMINATING THOSE PARTICULAR-
INITIATIVES OR EFFORTS THAT WE
HAD PROPOSED IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET OR THOSE ITEMS THAT WE
ARE AT PASSED IN THE TWENTY
NINETEEN BUDGET ACT THAT WERE
EITHER NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED OR
WORK TO BE BE IMPLEMENTED. WE
REDUCED OUR STUFF ALWAYS HERE
TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO
NEED IT CASH ASSISTANCE WERE
ABLE TO GET CASH ASSISTANCE AND
THAT'S WHERE WE FOCUSED OUR
ENERGY IN TERMS OF THIS MAY
REVISION. IF I CAN MR ME
TONIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO HEAR
FROM THE PUBLIC REGARDING
PROPOSALS. BUT I DID WANNA WAY
AND MYSELF AS THE CHAIR TO SOME
OF THE PROPOSALS THAT WERE IN
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET THAT DID GET
TAKEN OUT. THAT I DO THINK
WE'LL HAVE DRAMATIC EFFECTS.
THE FAMILY URGENT RESPONSE
SYSTEM IS CRITICAL FOR MANY OF
OUR FAMILIES WHO. ARE SEEKING
SERVICES THAT TWENTY FOUR HOUR
HOTLINE WILL BE NECESSARY AND
WAS QUITE IMPORTANT FOR MANY OF
US TO BE ADVOCATING FOR LAST
YEAR. IN ADDITION THE CAL WORKS
HOME VISITING PROGRAM THAT- IS
SLATED TO BE CAUGHT IS.
CURRENTLY BEING RETROFITTED I
UNDERSTAND. TO ALLOW FOR
TELEVISION FOR THEM TO BE ABLE
TO ACCESS SERVICES. AND WHAT I
THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT IS THAT
OUR CAL WORKS OF FAMILIES
OFTENTIMES. OUR THE FAMILIES.
TO REALLY HELP US TO AVOID TWO
GENERATIONS OF POVERTY. AND
REALLY DO BELIEVE THOSE ARE THE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE CAPTURE
CYCLICAL. SO I STARTED MY
QUESTION IF I COULD REALLY
TAKING MISTER DORSEY WHICH- OF
THE- IN OUR ABILITY. DONALD
TRUMP JOB OF HELPING US TO KEEP
OUR RATES SENSE TO ALLOW OTHERS
TO PARTICIPATE. MY CONCERN. IS
JUST WITH OUR MOST VULNERABLE.
AND I'VE HEARD IT SAID CLEARLY
FROM THIS GOVERNOR AND THIS
ADMINISTRATION. THAT WE ARE A
GOLDEN STATE FOR YOUR GOLDEN
YEARS. AND HAVE CONCERNS THAT
THIS BUDGET AFFECTS OUR MOST
VULNERABLE. AND WHETHER OR NOT
IT'S THE SEA BASS OR MS S. P.
OR THE CUTS TO THE AGE TO
ELDERLY AND DISABLED I HAVE
CONCERNS. THAT OUR ELDERLY ARE
GOING TO BE EXPOSED TO GREATER
RISK DURING THIS PANDEMIC AT A
TIME WHEN THEY NEED US THE
MOST. AND SO JUST WANT TO LEAVE
WITH. YOU A QUESTION WHICH IS
HOW DO WE FEEL FILL. THE GAPS
WITHIN SERVICES IF WE ARE GOING
TO. LISTEN TO THE PROPOSED CUTS
THAT YOU HAVE HOW DO WE MEET
THE NEEDS OF. OUR ELDERS.
TUCKER ARAMBULA- YOU KNOW WE AS
AN ADMINISTRATION HAVE
OBVIOUSLY MADE SIGNIFICANT
STRIDES WITH REGARDS TO-
LOOKING AT THE MOST VULNERABLE
INCLUDING THOSE WHO OLDER
INDIVIDUALS WE HAD A CHOICE AND
NOT CHOICE WAS NOT TO KICK
OLDER PEOPLE OFF OF MEDICAID.
BUT RATHER KEEP PEOPLE ON
MEDICAID AND PERHAPS- LOOK AT
THE OPTIONAL SERVICES THAT ARE
PART OF MEDICAID IN ORDER FOR
US TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAD
HEALTH INSURANCE- SO OUR GOAL
HERE WAS DIFFICULT ARE ARE ARE
CHALLENGE HERE WAS UNBELIEVABLY
DIFFICULT AND NO ONE. IS
UNDERMINING THAT OR AYE
DEBATING THAT WE HAVE SIMILAR-CONCERNS AS YOU DO THE BUDGET
THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED IN
GENERAL WAS VERY DIFFERENT AT
THE SAME TIME. WE YEAH ANIME OF
HOW TO MAKE. OF THIS THIS A
PROPOSED THAT WE LOVE DOING
WITH WHEN THE REST OF THE SITE
YOUR AS WELL AS STAKEHOLDERS
ACROSS THE STATE ON AND THIS
GETTING A- BETTER HOPEFUL YOU
CAN FURTHERING. THE IN OF THESE
ARE PROPOSALS BUT WE TRY TO BE
FOR METHOD AROUND OUR THINKING
WITH SOME OF THESE AND WE HAD A
CHOICE WE COULD EITHER
COMPLETELY TELL SENIORS THAT
THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
MEDICAID THE MOST VULNERABLE OF
MOTORABLE OR WE COULD SAY WE
WILL KEEP YOU ON MEDICAID BUT
CERTAIN SERVICES THAT WE MAY
NOT BE PROVIDED AND THAT'S- GEN.
I WILL HAVE ONE FINAL QUESTION
AND THEN I'M HAPPY FOR US TO
TURN IT INTO A PUBLIC COMMENT
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR. GETTING A
BIT WONKY AND ACTUALLY WANTING
TO ASK A REAL QUESTION THAT I
THINK WILL BENEFIT MY
COMMUNITY. BUT THERE WAS AN
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WAS MADE BY
THE GOVERNOR REGARDING SENIOR
MEALS FOR. PEOPLE ELDERS. AND
SADLY. NONE OF THE COUNTIES IN
THE ENTIRE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
EIGHT COUNTIES WILL BE
IMPLEMENTING THIS PROGRAM DUE
TO THE WAY IN WHICH WE DESIGN
THE PROGRAM. IN AND SAYING THAT
WE HAD MATCHING FUNDS IN
ADVANCE. AND WHY THAT BECOMES
PROBLEMATIC IS POOR COUNTIES
LIKE MINE HAVE SENIORS WHO ARE
HUNGRY TO. AND WE NEED TO
FIGURE OUT WHEN WE'RE DESIGNING
THESE PROGRAMS HOW WAR HELPING
ALL REGIONS IN ALL PARTS OF OUR
STATE AND SO. JUST WANTED TO
ADD MY ADVOCACY TO THIS THAT I
THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE. TO
HAVE A SEAT AT THIS TABLE AND
WANTED TO BE ABLE TO ADD MY
VOICE TO THAT DISCUSSION. WITH
THAT- HI WILL CONCLUDE OUR
QUESTIONS HERE ON THIS PANEL.
AND WOULD LIKE TO NOW OPEN IT
UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WANT TO
FIRST START BY THANKING OUR
PANELISTS FOR PARTICIPATING. IN
TODAY'S HEARING. WE COVERED A
LOT IN A SHORT PERIOD TRYING TO
MAKE BEST USE OF OUR TIME. AS

ALL OF THE PROPOSAL RELATING TO
AYE AGE AT THAT. AND MOST OF
THE PROPOSAL THAT TARGET
FIFTEEN YEAR AND PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES POPULATION- VIS A
LOT OF THESE PROPOSALS ACTUALLY
CONTRADICT HE PUBLIC HEALTH
GOALS OF THE STATE- THERE IN
THE MAY REVISED IS TARGETING
PROGRAMS THAT ACTUALLY KEEP. IN
YEARS AND PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES AND THEIR HOME
RATHER D. VAN BE PLACED AT THE
HOSPITAL THE NURSING HOMES
WHERE THE RATE OF DEATH AS YOU
WERE IN LITTLE FROM THE COLD IS
SO EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH. THAT.
ALL WHAT THINK WE MAKE IT
EASIER PEOPLE GO TO NURSING
HOME RATHER THAN THEM OUT OF
NURSING. WE ALSO ARE- OPPOSING
IN GENERAL THE CONCEPT AND THE
NAY REVISION WHICH IS THAT MOST
OF THESE. PROPOSALS FOR
REDUCTIONS ARE GOING TO BE
BORNE BY WORKING FAMILIES POOR
PEOPLE CHILDREN ARE MOST
VULNERABLE THERE IS NOT A FAIR
DISTRIBUTION OF PAIN IN THIS
MAY REVISION WITH YOUR NOT THE
PROPOSAL. BETTER ATTEMPTING TO
HAVE- REVENUE OBTAINED FROM THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THE MOST
AMOUNT OF MONEY RIGHT NOW. WE
KNOW THAT BILLION IN WELL HAVE
BEEN ACQUIRED SINCE MARCH BY
CERTAIN COMPANIES AND PEOPLE
WHO ARE BENEFITING. THE BANKS
IS SPECIALLY IN TERMS OF BEING-
CHARGE FOR ALL THE MALL BANK OF
BUSINESS LOANS THAT WERE-
PROCURE TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THERE IS A LOT OF
WELL. BEING GENERATED FROM THIS
PANDEMIC AND NONE OF IT IS
BEING TAPPED. TO ACCOUNT FOR
THE LOSS OF REVENUE AND
THEREFORE WHAT IS HAPPENING IS
BEING NEGATIVE IMPACT IS BEING
BORN. ONLY BY MIDDLE AND
WORKING CLASS AND POOR PEOPLE
AND THAT IS COMPLETELY
UNACCEPTABLE WE ARE ASKING THIS

OLDER ADULTS WITHIN THIS
BUDGET. AND HOW STRONGLY WE
WANT TO. PUSH THIS COMMITTEE TO
REJECT THOSE- CUTS TO OLDER
ADULTS AND PEOPLE DISABILITIES-
WE HAVE REAL FEARS THAT AND I
THINK THIS IS ONLY GOING TO BE
TRUE IS THAT PEOPLE WHO LOSE
THEIR SEE DOCTOR WITH IS THERE
AN F. P. GET I JUST AFTERNOON.
AND HAVE LESS ACCESS TO
MEDICARE ALL OR GOING TO BE
MORE LIKELY TO BE HOSPITALIZED
TO GET SIX TO GET INJURED AND
TO GO INTO NURSING HOMES AND WE
KNOW THAT NURSING HOME DASH.
ARE COUNTING FOR AT LEAST 40%
OF THE DATA IN THE ENTIRE
STATE. AND I DON'T THINK THE
BUDGET SHOULD. BE BORN ON THE
BACK OF OUR OLDER ADULTS AND
PUTTING THEIR HEALTH AND WELL
BEING AT RISK AND SO WE ARE
URGING YOU TO REJECT CUTS WERE.
YOU TO IS IT'S REYES RENDON
REVENUE FIND THE CUT SOMEWHERE

THIRTY SIX. GOOD AFTERNOON
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
SO CALLED LONDON ON BEHALF OF
THE ALLIANCE SUPPORTING PEOPLE
WITH INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT
DISABILITIES DON'T START BY
THINKING MANY OF YOU WHO TOOK
THE TIME TO SIGN UP TO BE A
PART OF OUR WORK WITH ME FOR A
DATE THAT WAS PUT ASIDE BECAUSE
OF THE NINETEEN. CRISIS WILL
TRY TO THAT UP A WITH PEOPLE I
SEE WHAT. ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES EVERY DAY. I
DON'T THINK MISTER FREEZE YOUR
MISTER MATHIS KICKER FOR. HIS
IT CONCERNS THAT HAVE ABOUT.
THIS ME REVISED PROPOSAL THESE
ARE PRETTY DEVASTATING CUTS AS
YOUR SAID MANY OF THE SYSTEM
THAT'S ALREADY FOUND TO BE ONE
POINT EIGHT BILLION BEHIND TO
COME IN WITH ANOTHER THREE
HUNDRED MILLION ON TOP OF THAT
IS PRETTY TRICKY. A COUPLE OF
THINGS I'D LIKE TO RAISE WILL
PUT OTHER THINGS IN OF IN
WRITTEN FORM BUT THANKS FOR YOU
TO CONSIDER- THE DIRECTOR
TALKED ABOUT HAVING JUST GO TO
THE TASK FORCE FOR DISCUSSION-
I WOULDN'T. TO WATER ACCESS TO
ALL VOICES IN THIS PROCESS SO
THAT- COULD NOT JUST LIMITED TO
THE SAME VOICE HEARD OVER AND
OVER AGAIN- SEKALI ONE ECHO THE
COMMENTS ABOUT RATIO
FLEXIBILITY WE REALIZE THAT
WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO
TAKE ON CUTS THIS YEAR BUT
GIVING THE SYSTEM SOME
FLEXIBILITY ON A TEMPORARY
BASIS AND HOW IT MEET THE
DEMANDS MIGHT ACTUALLY DO
EXACTLY WHAT HE COULD COME. IN
THE- IN OFFICIAL WAY TO ALL OF
US WHERE WE SIT IN THE SYSTEM
TODAY WERE HAVING TROUBLE
FINDING PEOPLE ACTUALLY COME
WORK IN THE SYSTEM. TO BE ABLE
TO ALLOW PROGRAMS TO FLOAT
LIGHTLY ON A VERY TEMPORARY
BASIS. IN THE SIZE OF THE
NUMBERS OF PEOPE THEY CAN
HANDLE A ONE TIME MIGHT. BE A
VERY GOOD MOVE- ALSO I THINK- I
WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK
VERY SERIOUSLY. AT THE PROSPECT
OF ASKING FOR SOME KIND OF
TEMPORARY AGAIN TEMPORARY WORK
FOR. SOMEBODY EACH CBS
REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE BEING
ROLLED OUT BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. EVERY ONE OF THE
REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE
CONVENIENT EACH CBS GUIDELINES
THAT ARE COMING DOWN. WHY MORE
COPLEY PROGRAMS IN THE SERVICE.
WHILE WE'RE IN THIS CRISIS IF
THE STATE COULD GET THE
TEMPORARY WAIVER FROM SOME OF
THOSE REQUIREMENTS WELL IT'S
NOT PREFERRED. IT WOULD ALLOW
US THE BETTER WAY TO HANDLE
SOME OF THE COST NEEDS. OF THE
POPULATION WERE SERVING AND
JUST COMPLETELY LOSE PROGRAMS.
LASTLY THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S SCHEME TO YOU A
COUPLE YEARS BACK. WITH A- BIRD
THAT DESCRIBE. SAVINGS THE BILL
WILL RESULT IN THE SYSTEM FROM
THE CLOSURE OF THE REMAINING
TWO DEVELOPMENTAL CENTERS IN
THE SYSTEM. MY UNDERSTANDING
NOW IS THE POPULATIONS ARE IN
FACT OUT OF THOSE TWO.
FACILITIES FAIRVIEW IN COSTA
MESA AND THE CINNAMON
DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER. AND WE
BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO LOOK AT
AND ACCOUNT FOR SOME OF THE
SAVINGS. THAT SHOULD BE
RESULTING ANNUALLY AD INFINITUM
FROM THAT IF THERE'S A WAY TO
SCORE SOME OF THOSE SAVINGS
THIS YEAR INTO THE SYSTEM. AS
PART OF THE MONEY THAT WE CAN
USE TO OFFSET OUR NEED TO COME
FORTH WITH CUTS WE WOULD REALLY
WELCOME THAT OPPORTUNITY I'LL
LEAVE IT AT THAT BUT WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY

DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION FOR ADULT BAKER
BERMAN SAID. I JUST WANTED TO
SAY THAT I KNOW YOU'RE
SUBCOMMITTEE AT ITS MEETING
TOMORROW ON FEET YES BUDGET.
AND THAT WILL HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK YOU CAN ON
THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE
MEDICARE PROGRAM. BUT I ALSO
WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE DURING
THE HUMAN SERVICES HEARING. TO
EXPRESS THAT WE DO NOT SUPPORT
GOVERNOR NEW SOME OLD BALK. AT
IN THE NAY REVISION TO
ELIMINATE THE ADULT DAY HEALTH
CARE ABOUT THE PROGRAM. BY THE
END OF THE YEAR. THE REASON I'M
MENTIONING AS THIS AT THE
HEARING TODAY IS BECAUSE AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE COLD BIT
NINETEEN. PANDEMIC GOVERNOR
ANYTHING DEEMED OUR PROGRAM AND
ESSENTIAL SERVICE BECAUSE IT
PROTECTS THE VERY PEOPLE WHO
ARE AT LOW RISK SOME COVERT
NINETEEN. TO THEIR. AGE AND
UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITION. HE
ISSUED MARK NIGHT THE- OR- OUR
MEMBERS THAT OUR LEADERS. HAS
BEEN WORKING VERY COOL. BUT THE
DEPARTMENT OF AGING IN AT A
RAPID DESIGN AND CONTINUED
SERVICE FIRST HE BASS
PARTICIPANT. DURING THE
TEMPORARY ALTERNATIVE SERVICES
MODEL WHICH WE REFER TO AS
PASSED. WITHOUT THIS CAST MODEL
THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DEVELOP IN
TANDEM WITH OUR PARTNERS. IN
RECORD TIME I MIGHT ADD. WE
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
CONTINUE TO CARE. FOR I PROVIDE
THEM HELLO SURVEY. VIRTUAL
THROUGH DELIVERY FOR THE BACK
DISTRIBUTION AND CARE
COORDINATION. OUR SERVICES OF
NOT ONLY HELPS TO KEEP OUR
PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
THEY FROM CO THAT NINETEEN. BUT
OUR SERVICES HAVE ALSO HELPED
MAINTAIN OUR PARTICIPANTS
HEALTH STATUS. AN ADDITIONAL
STRESS TO THE ISOLATION AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY REDUCE THE
POTENTIAL FOR PREMATURE
INSTITUTIONALIZATION. WE
WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
PIVOT SO QUICKLY AT THE BILL
FULLY WITHOUT OUR STATE AND
MANAGED CARE PARTNERS WHO HAVE
WORKED SIDE BY SIDE WITH US
OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS. OR
PROTECT THE TENTH AND THEIR
FAMILIES DURING THIS
EXTRAORDINARY TIME. IF THE
ELIMINATION OF THIS PROGRAM IF
IT IS APPROVED WE KNOW THAT
IT'LL CREATE AN EVEN LARGER
BUDGET DEFICIT THAN THE
PROJECTED SAVINGS OF ONE POINT
SIX MILLION DOLLARS. IF THIS
PROPOSAL ISN'T REJECTED THIRTY
SIX THOUSAND FEET LAST
PARTICIPANTS COULD LOSE THEIR
SAFETY NET WHICH WOULD THEN
SHIFT HIGHER COST TO OTHER
PARTS OF OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
INCREASED HOSPITALIZATION
EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND A
FORESEEABLE THIRD AND ECONOMIC
MISSION. WITH REASONS WE URGE
THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO REJECT A
PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE THE VERY
SPECIAL AND ONE OF A KIND
PROGRAM. WE ALSO URGE THE
SUBCOMMITTEE TO REJECT A
PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE THE AND
THE TEST P. PROGRAM AND WE ALSO
OPPOSE THE DEVELOPMENTAL
SERVICES ROVIDER RATE
REDUCTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SPOT

YOU TO SAY HELLO TO YOUR
HUSBAND. MY FAVORITE. IN THIS.
THANK YOU. THE NEXT OPEN LINE

JEWISH PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
TO URGE YOU TO REJECT THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL ON EMESIS
HE AND SEE BASS ELIMINATING
THESE PROGRAMS WILL NOT SAVE
THE STATE MONEY THEY WILL OST

DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT FOR THOSE REASONS
WE URGE YOU TO REJECT THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL. THANK YOU.
A LITTLE LINE EIGHTY ONE PLEASE
GO AHEAD. AND YOUR GROUP
REPRESENTING THE ALZHEIMER'S
ASSOCIATION- WHILE WE
UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO BALANCE
THE GIGANTIC FIFTY FOUR BILLION
DOLLAR DEFICIT- THE CUTS BEING
PROPOSED THE I. H. AT THAT. THE
RESOURCE CENTERS DEPARTMENT
AGING I'M A S. P. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY THE ELIMINATION OF
THE BATH WILL HAVE LASTING HARM
WILL CREATE LASTING HARM ON
THOUSAND LIVING WITH DEMENTIA-
PUT NEW PRESSURE ON LOW INCOME
FAMILIES OVERWHELMED FIELD
NURSING FACILITIES INCREASE E.
R. USAGEAND THE MANY PEOPLE
LIVING WITH THE DISEASE.
ABSOLUTELY NO CARE OPTION. THE
FACT WILL REDUCE OF AND
ACCELERATE THE PROGRESSION OF
DEMENTIA FOR MANY PEOPLE WE
OFFER THE ASSEMBLY REJECTED
CUTS AND NOT SACRIFICE THE
LIVES OF OLDER CALIFORNIANS TO
BALANCE THE BUDGET. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. WE WILL ALIGN ONE
THIRTY SIX. THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER ARAMBULA AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE I'M GREG WILSON
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CHILD
FOR DIRECTIONS SO SHE SHOULDN'T
WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR
LEADERSHIP IN THIS CHALLENGING
TIME. WE ARE ALSO VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROPOSED
CUTS TO LOCAL CHILD SUPPORT
FUNDING THE ECONOMIC AND
ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE CODE
NINETEEN PANDEMIC ARE
TRANSLATINGINTO HIGH
UNEMPLOYMENT AND EXPECTED
INCREASES TO SAFETY THAT
CASELOADS SOME OF WHICH ARE
REFERRED TO CHILD SUPPORT
PRIOR PRIOR YEAR LOCAL CHILD
FOR FUNDING WAS ALREADY
INADEQUATE FUNDING CUTS NOW
WILL TRANSLATE TO MANY ELVIA
THERE. NOT BEING ABLE TO MEET
THE NEEDS OF THE CURRENT CASE.
MUCH LESS ANY INFLICT OF
ADDITIONAL CASES. AS ONE
EXAMPLE THE CAPACITY OF LTO
SAVES TO ASSIST WITH REVIEWS AN
ADJUSTMENT FOR NEWLY UNEMPLOYED
PARENTS. WILL BE NEGATIVELY AND
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED. CHILD
SUPPORT PAYMENTS ARE A CRITICAL
PART OF EFFORTS TO FIGHT
POVERTY AND PROMOTE FAMILY SELF
SUFFICIENCY NOW MORE THAN EVER
THEY ARE CRUCIAL TO FAMILY
SURVIVING THIS ECONOMIC
DOWNTURN. WE WOULD URGE LOCAL
TIED FOR FUNDING THE RESTORED
TO THE TWENTY NINETEEN TWENTY
TWENTY LEVELS I THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE
COMMENT. THANK YOU SIR. YEAH
LINE EIGHTY SEVEN PLEASE GO
AHEAD. HI THIS IS DOCTOR BACK A
LITTLE AFTER TEN AM ON POVERTY
CAN YOU HEAR ME. YES JESSICA.
GREAT THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
I AM I WILL BE REFINED TO A
COUPLE OF THE ISSUES AND MY
COLLEAGUE MIKE CARROLL WILL BE
AT REPLYING TO SOME OF THE
OTHER ISSUES RAIN AND TODAY'S
HEARING. FIRST I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THE COLOR HOLDEN PROGRAM
AND YOU KNOW WE WORK CLOSELY
WITH YOU MISTER CHAIR- TO HELP
ESTABLISH IT'S REALLY ESSENTIAL
PROGRAMS. THAT HELP. CHILDREN
AND FAMILIES. ACHIEVE THE BEST
THEY CAN PREVENT THE HARM OF
TRAUMA INCLUDING. HOLOCAUST
BACK HUNGER AND- POVERTY AND AS
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE HUNGER
NUMBERS. ARE CURRENTLY FOR
SINGLE PARENTS IS UP TO FORTY
PERCENT. IN THE HOUSEHOLD FOR
THE ADULTS- SO WE KNOW THAT THE
FAMILIES ARE EXPERIENCING A
GREAT DEAL OF STRESS AND THAT
HOME VISITING. IT IS COME AT IT
IT'S BUILT TO HELP THEM THROUGH
THE EXTRA. AND AS YOU MENTIONED
IN THE HEARING PREVIOUSLY- AND
HAS BEEN DETAILED BY PRIOR
TESTIMONY. THESE PROGRAMS ARE
ADJUSTING TO THE STATE HOME
ORDERS AND PROVIDING ASSISTANCE
TO THE TELEPHONE AND INTERNET.
COMMUNICATION AND INCLUDING HOW
THE FAMILY TO GET CONNECTED TO
GO SERVICES- UNTIL WE JUST WANT
TO RECOGNIZE THAT THESE ARE
IMPORTANT PROGRAM WE'RE
GRATEFUL THE CURRENT PROGRAM
WASN'T THERE ARE NOW AND HELP
THAT. AND THEY CAN BE ADVOCATE
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS A TOOL
TO PREVENT HARM. TO CHILDREN
DURING THIS TIME. TO ADDRESS
THE CHILD SERVICES AND A PATH
THROUGH BEING REMOVE AS A
POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO POVERTY.
AGAIN WE WERE GRATEFUL TO FEED
THE PROPOSAL THAT CALIFORNIA
JOIN THE MULTIPLE OTHER STATES
THAT PASSED THROUGH THE MAXIMUM
ALLOWED AMOUNT ALLOWED. ONE
HUNDRED FOR OUR FIRST CHILD TWO
HUNDRED FOR THE SECOND OR MORE
CHILDREN IN THE CHILD SUPPORT
PASSED- TOOK OUR FAMILY- ARE
THE AMOUNT WE CURRENTLY. PASSED
THROUGH THE FAMILY THAT YOU
KNOW IT'S FIFTY DOLLARS THAT'S
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT
THE NON CUSTODIAL. PARENT HAS
PAID FIFTY DOLLARS A HUNDRED
DOLLARS TWO HUNDRED THREE
HUNDRED- THE GOVERNMENT RETAINS
ALL BUT THE FIFTY DOLLARS. I AM
IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT THE
AMOUNT OF THE CALL THE DOLLAR
THAT. THAT ARE BEING GIVEN
THROUGH TAX IN US DOES CALL THE
AMBULANCE DOLLARS ARE BEING
RETAINED- IN WHEN A PARENT. IS
ON CAL WORK AND THOSE FAMILIES
ARE GETTING SIMPLY THE FIFTY
DOLLAR PASSED THROUGH SO- IN
THIS SITUATION ABOUT WITH
REGARD TO THE TALK. YOU AND THE
FUNDING FOR THE CAT THE POOR
AGENCIES ONE THING WE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE AN IS THAT IN AN
ACCOUNTING OF HOW MUCH OF THE
TAX DOLLARS- THAT WERE
INTERCEPTED. AND GIVEN TO THE
STATE COUNTY AND FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AT WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE THOSE NUMBERS AS WELL AND
REQUEST THAT THAT BE PART OF
THIS LIKE A CONVERSATION LOOK
REGARD TO ELIMINATING. WE HAD
MADE A COMMENT WITH REGARD TO A
PANDEMIC RELATED PROGRAM
CHANGES. IN A LETTER THAT WE
SUBMITTED OER THE WEEKEND TO-
COMMITTEE STAFF AND TO THE
GOVERNOR AND IN THEIR WE
IDENTIFIED THAT THE ELIMINATION
OF THE WE'D LIKE TO SEE AN
ELIMINATION OF OVERPAYMENT AND
OVER INSURANCE. COLLECTION
DURING THE PANDEMIC- AND THERE
IS A GREAT A GREAT DEAL OF
PROGRAM MOVEMENT RIGHT NOW BOTH
PEOPLE APPLYING THE WAY THEY
APPLY THE WAY PUT CASES ARE
PROCESS. WHETHER OR NOT A
REPORT IS NEEDED OR DELAYED- AT
AT I CAN'T REMEMBER IN OVER
TWENTY YEARS FOR THE ANTI-
POVERTY ORGANIZING. SO MUCH
CHANGE AND HOW. ARE WORKING AND
RICK AND- WITH THE CASE WORKERS
AND THE CLIENT. ABOUT
APPLICANTS AND RECIPIENTS AND
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS IT ADULT
SO MANY OF THE CHANGES ARE VERY
GOOD THEY'RE ALSO- CHANGES
HAPPENING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
AND WHAT COUNTS AS- INCOME AND
WHAT DOES IT- AND THIS
CONFUSION WE BELIEVE WILL LEAD
TO- A HIGH NUMBER OF
OVERPAYMENT AND OVER A SHE WENT
TO. IN THE COW OR CAN CALPERS
PROGRAM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
HAS ASKED FOR SOME RELIEF FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITH
REGARD OVER IF. THERE'S AN
ACCOUNT PRESS PROGRAM- SO WE
HAVE NOT RECEIVED- APPROVAL FOR
THAT RELEASE. WE WOULD LIKE
THERE TO BE A CONVERSATION AND
THE BUDGET CONTACT ABOUT HOW TO
MAKE SURE THAT. ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE TENDON IF WE DON'T
END UP WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF
PEOPLE- GOING OVER INSURANCE
IS. NEVER PAYMENT I'M KIND.
SOMETIMES DUE TO A- THAT'S A
GOOD NATURE. ERROR ON THE
CLIENTS OR OUTLOOK. BEHALF OR
THE CASE. I AND SO LIKE TO
ENSURE THAT INTO THE
CONVERSATION. WITH REGARD TO
THE CALPERS PROGRAM. WE AND BY
THE WAY AS I MOVE AWAY FROM THE
CAO WORKS PROGRAM JUST TO KNOW
THAT MY COLLEAGUE IS GOING TO
HIGHLIGHT- OUR GRATITUDE TO-
YOU KNOW TO THE ADMINISTRATION
FOR REINFORCING THE IMPORTANCE
OF THAT THEY CAO WORKS GRANTS
AND THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO
STAY THE COURSE TO REDUCE AND
IN FACT AND THE CHILD COULD BE
POVERTY- BY NOT REDUCE IN A
GRAND INTO THEIR BUDGET. MOVING
ON TO NUTRITION- MY COLLEAGUE
MIKE IT'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT
THAT CAN BE AND THAT THE SSI-
HOUSEHOLDS AND THEIR NUTRITION
BENEFITS. WELL THERE WAS A
PROPOSAL- AS WE SAW INCOME
PROPOSED TRAILER BILL TWO
ACROSS. A REDUCTION IN THE
CALTRANS. OR PUSHING OUT THE
TIMELINE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS
TO CALPERS RESTAURANT NO
PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS A
PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES- ACCESS
TO A PREPARED MEALS FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE ELDERLY DISABLED OR
HOMELAND. IT ONLY DOES SO
HOWEVER IN ABOUT ELEVEN COUNTY
ACROSS THE STATE AND RECENT
LEGISLATION HAS BEEN PASSED
AUTHORED BY DR- ASSEMBLY MEMBER
DR SHIRLEY WEBER. AND SUPPORTED
BY PARTISAN LEE AND UNANIMOUSLY
IN THE SENATE ASSEMBLY- TO
EXPAND. THIS PROGRAM ACROSS THE
STATE. TO BETTER SERVE PEOPLE-
WITH SAFE FOOD AN ADEQUATE WAY
AND- THANKS SO SEAT WORK THINGS
HEALTH SAVINGS BANK PROPOSED BY
THE ADMINISTRATION. TO PUSH OUT
THAT TIME LINE AND THIS IS
REALLY TOO BAD IT'S AT A TIME
WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
ARE MAKER. ARE LOOKING AT THE
REST PROGRAM AS A WAY TO
RESPOND EXCERPTED PREPARATION
NEEDS DURING THE PANDEMIC. AND
ALSO TO BONTA THINK. THE
INCREDIBLE LOSS. OF INCOME AND
JOBS AMONG RESTAURANT WORKERS-
ADD THAT BEING SAID HOWEVER.
DEAD COW FRESH TEAM AND THE EBT
UNIT OVER AT THE S. S. AND THE
OPPOSITE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
GRAYSON HAVE BEEN HEROES.
THEY'VE GOTTEN MORE THAN. MORE
THAN A AND A HALF DOLLARS SO.
OF THE- NUTRITION OUT THE DOOR.
WHEN YOU TALK TO A POLICY MAY
CAN BE EIGHT REFER TO OUR
PROGRAM- AS AS A KIND OF
LEADERS IN THE FIELD- WE IT
THEY FIGURE IF WE CAN DO IT
ANYBODY ELSE CAN- ARE NOT
EVERYBODY ELSE CAN BUT IF WE
CAN'T DO IT AND NOBODY ELSE. SO
WE TRY INSIDE IF THE DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL SERVICES IS SAYING
THAT THEY AT THIS POINT CAN'
SPLIT THE FLEX AND MAKE THAT
RESTAURANT NO PROGRAMS BE. A
STATEWIDE- PROGRAM. WE TRUST
THEIR INSTINCTS AND THE VERY
DISAPPOINTED- AND HOPEFUL THAT
IT'S NOT A FULL YEAR PUSH OUT-
WE OUT WE WILL FOLLOW THEIR
LEAD AND THEY ARE DOING THEY
ARE. THEY ARE MOVING NOW AND-
AND THEN FINALLY WITH REGARD TO
THE CHARACTER A MAN- WE PUT IN
OUR LETTER TO THE NOTE THAT
WE'D LIKE TO SEE. AND WE PUT. I
HOW. THE POOR CALIFORNIANS MANY
TIMES THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE A
BANK ACCOUNT THEY HAVEN'T FILED
TAXES THEY DON'T RECEIVE
BENEFITS THAT WOULD HAVE
ENTITLED IN PROGRESS PAYMENT.
IN THAT CARE TAX STIMULUS OR
FUTURE TAX CANNULA YOU MIGHT
WERE ALL IN SUPPORT OF THE
HEROES BACK NOT ONLY BECAUSE
THEY PROVIDE. ADDITIONAL FISCAL
RELIEF FOR LOCAL AND STATE
GOVERNMENT BUT ALSO BECAUSE IT
PROVIDES ADDITIONAL NUTRITION
FUNDING AND DIRECT CASH WITH
THE THINK THE PEOPLE. WE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA FOR YOU PUT SOME
EFFORT FORWARD TO MAKE SURE
THAT ALL CALIFORNIANS ELIGIBLE

THANK YOU MA'AM. WE GO NEXT TO
LINE SEVENTY FIVE GO AHEAD
PLEASE. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
LUCAS FRANK MECCA WITH THE
COUNTY WELFARE DIRECTORS AT THE
ASIAN. WE APPRECIATE THE
GOVERNOR'S ATTEMPTS TO PRESERVE
BASIC INCOME ASSISTANCE FOR THE
COURTS PEOPLE- FOR EXAMPLE
LEAVING CALYX GRANT. OR THEY
ARE- WE'RE SINCERELY
APPRECIATIVE ABOUT THAT PUT. WE
ARE ON THE OTHER HAND EXTREMELY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE FATE OF
ABUSED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN
AND ADULTS BECAUSE OF THE
ALMOST SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR REDUCTION IN REALIGNMENT
REVENUES. FOR HUMAN SERVICES
PROGRAMS THAT WERE DISCUSSED BY
MY COLLEAGUE SHE- I JUST DIDN'T
HEAR IT FROM THE FACT IN THE
ABSENT- STATE SUPPORT TO
BUTTRESS THE SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTION IN REVENUES. WILL BE
STEEP REDUCTIONS IN SERVICES TO
PROTECT PEOPLE- CHILDREN AND
ADULTS ARE BEING AN ABUSED OR
NEGLECTED- EXACERBATING THAT
PROBLEM AT THE DECISION AND THE
NEIGHBOR ADDITION. TO NOT
REIMBURSED COUNTY FOR ABOUT
EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
COST. FOR THE NEW RESEARCH
FAMILY APPROVAL PROCESS. THOSE
ARE RESOURCES THAT WE NEED TO
GET CARE GIVERS TO ABUSE KIDS.
IT'S ALSO MONEY THAT WE ARE
CONSTITUTIONALLY ENTITLED TO
UNDER PROP THIRTY WE DON'T
AGREE WITH THE STATE'S
INTERPRETATION. THAT THE
RESEARCH FAMILY APPROVAL
ACTIVITIES WERE NOT THAT PRE
DATED TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN
REALIGNED THEY CLEARLY DID NOT.
AND SO- WE BELIEVE THAT THOSE
FUNDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE
CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED TRUE
UP BROUGHT THAT UNDER
PROPOSITION THIRTY. WITH
RESPECT TO ELIGIBILITY-
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND CAL
WORKS CAL FRESH. I JUST THAT.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME
REDUCTIONS ARE INEVITABLE AND%
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTIONS ACROSS ALL OF THOSE
PROGRAMS AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
LEGISLATURE. IS THIRD CALIBRATE
OUR EXPECTATION CALIBRATE
ACCOUNTABILITY IN CALIBRATE OUR
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATION BASED
ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE.
I THINK THE BUDGET ESSENTIALLY
SAYS. DO YOUR BEST WE CAN'T.
BOND THOSE ACTIVITIES WHERE WE
OUGHT TO- WE AT THE COUNTY
LEVEL- MAKING WORK AND WE WILL
DO OUR BEST BUT WE HAVE TO
ALIGN. REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS
OF COUNTY PERFORMANCE WITH THE
RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE. I
SHOULD SAY THE SAME THING FOR
OUR CLIENTS WE HAVE TO LINE- UP
A LINE OR EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT
WE CAN EXPECT BY WAY OF
PARTICIPANTS- PARTICIPATING IN
WELFARE TO WORK ACTIVITIES IS
ABOUT A SIX HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR PLUS REDUCTION AND CAL
WORKS EMPLOYMENT SERVICE THAT.
WE DO NOT AGREE WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION BUT I'M SURE.
THAT THOSE FUNDS ARE NECESSARY
BECAUSE SOME SIGNIFICANT NUMBER
OF THE NEW COLD WAR COMING ON
TO POWER. OUR RECENTLY
CONNECTED TO THE LABOR FORCE
AND THEREFORE WON'T NEED
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES. WE THINK
LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE COMING
ON TO CAO WORKS ARE GOING TO BE
COMING FROM A SERVICE SECTOR.
WHERE JOBS ARE GOING TO BE
PERMANENTLY LOST NECESSITATING-
CLUB RETRAINING FOR DIFFERENT
INDUSTRIES. AND SO WE'RE NOT
WE'RE NOT UP HOLDEN CAUGHT
WE'RE JUST SAYING WE KNOW
INEVITABLY PEOPLE WILL WILL NOT
GET SERVICE THAT THEN UNDER THE
LAW. WE PROVIDE PEOPLE GOOD
CAUSE FOR NOT PARTICIPATING BUT
WE HAVE TO TURN THEIR TIME
CAUGHT UP HERE SHOULD NOT BE
JEOPARDY TO THE CLIENT- TO HAVE
THEIR CAL WORKS. FINE ON AID
CHECK YEAH WE JUST BECAUSE OF
THIS TERRIBLE RECESSION AND
CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THEIR
SERVICES. NOW WE HAVE
SUBMITTED- A LETTER TO THE
COMMITTEE THAT GOES INTO MUCH
MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE TYPES OF-
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
CALIBRATION THAT WE WANT TO DO.
AND SIMPLIFICATION BUT WE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE EXTENDED FROM THE
EXECUTIVE ORDER. FINALLY MISTER
CHAIR. WE THINK THERE ARE TWO
CUTS IN THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
DETERGENT. COUNTERPRODUCTIVE
GIVEN OUR DESIRE TO RESTART THE
ECONOMY AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN-
THE FIRST IS THE ELIMINATION OF
SUBSIDIZEDEMPLOYMENT ON THE
COUCH FOR CABINET THE VIRTUAL
ELIMINATION- WHAT WE LEARNED.
IN THE GREAT RECESSION WAS THAT
SUBJECT EMPLOYMENT WAS ONE OF
THE BEST WAYS THAT WE COULD
SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS SAYS.
I'M AND SMALL EMPLOYERS TO HELP
SUBSIDIZE THE WAGE OF CLIENTS
FOR A TEMPORARY PERIOD OF TIME.
TO REDUCE THE COST OF THEM TO
ACTUALLY SORT OF RE OPEN THEIR
BUSINESS AS WELL AT THE SAME
TIME PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLIENTS. DATA
FROM THE AT THAT INDICATE THAT
IT'S A VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM
IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN THERE WERE SEVENTY TWO
HUNDRED PARTICIPANTS. THOSE
PARTICIPANTS DOUBLE THEIR
INCOME THE MEDIAN INCOME DURING
THEIR TIME ON HIM- BUT BUT
IMPLEMENT. THEM WHAT'S MORE
INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT IS
THAT AFTER THEY LEFT THE
PROGRAM- THE INCREASE IN MEDIAN
INCOME WAS MORE THAN TWO AND A
HALF TIMES- THEN. HAD THEY NOT
PARTICIPATE. WITH ABOUT FOUR
THOUSAND PEOPLE AT ANY GIVEN
MOMENT IN SUBSIDIZED
EMPLOYMENT. BUT THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PASSES ON JULY FIRST WE
WILL ON EMPLOYEE FOUR THOUSAND
CHARACTERS THAT WE URGE YOU TO
REJECT THAT CUT. AND FINALLY
MISTER CHAIR WE ALIGN ORSELVES
WITH YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT HOW
IMPORTANT THE FAMILY URGENT
RESPONSIVE COMMITTED. THE TYPES
OF STRESSES THAT THAT SYSTEM IS
SO CRITICAL FOR HEALTH CARE
GIVERS AND YOU- REMAIN
CONNECTED INTO NOT A PLACEMENT
DISRUPTION SO THREATENS GO UP
AND HAVE GONE UP. AND ANYBODY
WITH CHILDREN NOTES ON IN THIS-
IN THE KOBE EMERGENCY AND SO WE
WOULD URGE THE ADMINISTRATION
IN THE LEGISLATURE BY TO KEEP
THAT THE MOMENTUM GOING INTO
EMPLOYMENT FIRST. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK

INFORMATION. THAT SEVERAL OF MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE MADE THAT I

THIS IS ON MY CAR WITH THE
WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY AND WE APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEES- HEARING AND TAKING
ALL THE TESTIMONY GET YOU ARE
TODAY- I HAVE SEVERAL COMMENTS
YOU'RE MOSTLY RELATED TO CAL
WORKS IN A FEW RELATED TO OR-
AFTER FIVE- I THINK FIRST OF
ALL OVERALL. I MEAN WE REALLY
DO. OUR THE APPROACH TAKEN BY
THE ADMINISTRATION IN. DEALING
WITH THE CRISIS IN THE
SHORTFALL I MEAN WE ARE. WE
HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE
GRANT LEVELS THAT WILL OCCUR IN
THE TOWERS WILL GRAHAM GOING
FORWARD GIVEN DAHLE- HIGH
UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS AND WE ARE
VERY APPRECIATIVE OF- WHAT
MINISTRATION CHOSE TO. MAINTAIN
THOSE GROUND LEVEL AND TO TAKE
STEPS TO- MAKE SURE THERE WAS
GOING TO BE ADEQUATE FUNDING IN
THE BUDGET TO ABSORB THE
CASELOAD INCREASES THAT WERE
ALREADY SEEN THAT WE ANTICIPATE
GOING COURT- THE- WE ARE
CONCERNED THOUGH IT AND AS
MISTER MAC- JUST MENTION A FEW
MOMENTS AGO. ABOUT THE IMPACT
THE TIME LIMITS MAY HAVE ON
FAMILIES AS- MANY OF YOU KNOW-
WE HAVE. WE HAVE REDUCED OUR
TIME LIMITS AND IN TWO THOUSAND
AND TWELVE AND- MANY FAMILIES
ALREADY HAD SPENT TIME BACK IN
THE GREAT RECESSION ON TOP ON
EIGHT. MAY HAVE SPENT TIME IN
THE LAST TEN OR TWELVE YEARS ON
A BEGAN AND NOW. FOR A THIRD
TIME PERHAPS ARE FACING
ANOTHER- TIME ON CAL WORKS AND
THEY HAVE VERY SHORT TIME
CLOCK. AND FOR THOSE REASONS
WE'VE BEEN URGING THE COMMITTEE
TO LOOK THIS YEAR TO CONSIDER
SPENDING A TIME CLOCK TO THE
FOR MAC ON ONE. SIX MONTHS.
ADMIN THOUGH WE DO THINK THAT
ANY. FAMILY THAT. PARTICIPATE
IN WATFORD. GETTING SO CALLED
GOOD CAUSE FOR NON
PARTICIPATION SHOULD HAVE THEIR
TIME CLOCK STOP FOR ANY MONTH
TO. APART GET THERE ON A-
PROBLEM RIGHT NOW FAMILY CAN
ONLY HAVE THEM STOP IN THE
FIRST TWENTY FOUR MONTHS. AND
THERE ARE MANY FAMILIES NOW
THAT ARE GOING TO BE BEYOND THE
TWENTY FORMA CLEMENT. AND
CANNOT GO TO WORK AND YET WILL
NOT HAVE THE TIME CLOCK STOPPED
AND WE THINK. THAT THAT OUGHT
TO BE DEALT WITH IN TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE THIS YEAR- THE
ONLY MENTION MUCH. SEVERAL
HOURS AGO NOW THE LOOKING AT
THE FLEXIBILITY THAT HAVE BEEN
PROVIDED BY THE ADMINISTRATION.
IN THE CODE WORD CRISIS AND WE
ARE VERY CREATION OF A FAST
FOR. A BOOK THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE IN PDF THAT THAN THAT IN
THIS MATTER BUT WE DO AGREE
THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT I
DIDN'T FEEL THAT. PERHAPS WE
DON'T NEED DOING ON ALL
BASICALLY COULD ACTUALLY BE
STRIP MINED. MADE FOR CHEN GET
PEOPLE THERE. THEIR BENEFITS
QUICKER AND REDUCING THE
BURDENS ON COUNTY WORKERS. I WE
TO ACTUALLY SUBMITTED A
PROPOSAL TO THE LEGISLATURE.
THAT WILL DO THAT IN PARTICULAR
ONE THING THAT WE WOULD KNOW IS
THAT. WE HEARD. TWO TO ADOPT
MANY OF THE STREAM WHAT
PROPOSAL SENATE BEEN- PROPOSED
BY THE ADMINISTRATION. THAT
HAPPENED- PART OF OUR ONGOING.
NUMBER EFFORT THAT IN THE
FUTURE. IF WE HAVEN'T QUITE
LIKE THIS WE WON'T TO. A NUMBER
OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND EIGHTY
ALL THIS. THOSE ISSUES CAN BE
DEALT WITH AUTOMATICALLY HAVING
HIM- IN MILWAUKEE IN ADVANCE-
WE ARE HAPPY TO ADMINISTRATION
DID NOT DO ANYTHING IN THE
BUDGET. RECUSE IN YOUR HOURS.
PROGRAMS HE ALSO. PROGRAM AND
OTHER ENDEAVORS WE THINK IT'S
GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL
THAT WE DO THAT BUT WE DO THINK
THAT THERE ARE SOME FLEXIBILITY
THANK BE. AND ALMOST SINCE
PROGRAM. EXAMPLE RID OF THE
RIVER. THAT WE WON'T PAY RENT
THAT HE- THAT IS INCREASE OF AN
ACCESS TO THE PERCENT OF
SOMONE INCOME. THAT IN BUT
BEING A BARRIER FOR MANY FAMILY.
WE THINK OF TâM TO GET MORE
THAN ONE BILLS SIX DAYS ATTEMPT
SISTER. ALLOWING THEM MORE THAN
ONE DURING THE CRISIS WOULD BE.
SOMETHING WITHOUT A CA. DOING
WE GOING TO HAVE A MAJOR NUMBER
OF A MASSIVE NUMBER OF
AFFECTION. BEING PROPOSED BY
LANDLORDS TH COMING MONTHS AND
WE NEED TO HAVE ALL THE
RESOURCES AND TOOLS ARE. WHAT
WE CAN. MANAGED FROM. AND THE
LASTLY ON AFTER OUR PARDON ME

CHILD IN FOSTER CARE. I WANT TO
EMPHASIZE TWO THINGS FOR TODAY
ONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
TIME THAT YOUR ALLOWING
EVERYBODY TO SPEAK AND TO SPEAK
FROM THE HEART WE KNOW HOW
DIFFICULT THIS IS TO IMPLEMENT
PLEASE CUT. I WANT TO FIRST
POINT OUT THAT A 100% OF THE
YOUTH. THAT ARE IN THE SHORT
TERM RESIDENTIAL. PROGRAMS
FORMALLY KNOWN AS FOSTER CARE.
ARE ONLY WITH A COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS AND THEY ARE THE
MOST. CHALLENGING YEAR AND THEY
ALL. IN THESE PROGRAMS ARE THAT
THEY ARE NOT IN JUVENILE
DETENTION CENTERS AND I'M NOT
ON THE STREET. AND THEN THE
SECOND TAKE THE HIGHEST LEVEL
OF CARE AND THE OFTEN THE LAST
PLACEMENT OPTION BEFORE THE IS
HOSPITALIZED. AND THEY ARE.
IT'S CRITICAL TO NOT UNDERSTAND
THEM RIGHT NOW. WHEN THE COST
OR EVEN HIGHER TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS
CRITICAL YOU. I ALSO WANT TO
EMPHASIZE THAT THE 5% RATE CUT
FOR THIS PROGRAM WHICH IS
CALLED AFTER DEEPLY DOES
VIOLATE LAW AS DECIDED IN A
LAWSUIT ALLIANCE FORCES WAGNER
AND ROSE AND WE WILL BE
BRINGING THAT UP TO THE STATE.
BUT I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT
THAT WAS A LAWSUIT THAT WAS
EDUCATED IN A CALL THE COURT.
AND WE DO NOT THINK THAT THE
ACTION IS LEGAL. THEN I'D LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT THE FOX FAMILY
AGENCY SOCIAL WORKER. 90%
IDENTIFIES SEEN ON THE LOWEST
PAID OF MASTER LEVEL SOCIAL
WORKERS. A THIRD ONE THIRD F
ALL FOSTER KIDS IN HOMES. AND A
100% OF ALL FOSTER KIDS IN A

WORKER AS WITH BACK UP FROM THE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL
WORKERS THAT. WOULD ONE SOCIAL
WORKER YOU HAVE A 75% TO NOT
ACCEPT A COMMON FATE A TOP 18%
WHEN YOU HAVE TO REMARKS. I
THINK WHAT'S REALLY MOST
IMPORTANT AS WE RECOGNIZE THAT
THESE CUTS ARE DRACONIAN THAT A
FIFTY FOUR BILLION DOLLAR.
BUDGET DEFICIT MUST BE FELT AND
THE PAIN IS REAL. AND IF THE
BEARD. HOWEVER FOR THE
PROCESSING AGENCY SOCIAL
WORKERS WE HAVE PARTICIPATED IN
A STUDY THAT TOOK TEN YEARS TO
GET OFF THE GROUND. IT IS GOING
TO BRING IN FEDERAL FUNDING
IT'S BEING IMPLEMENTED.
POSSIBLY IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
JEFF TO PROVE FROM THE FEDERAL
ADMINISTRATION OF CHILDREN AND
FAMILY. IT WILL PAY FOR THE
CUT. THAT'D BE PROPOSED THIS
ONE TIME CUT ONE TIME COLA.
THAT WAS JUST A NOT. BARELY
ENOUGH TO KEEP. THE FATHER CAME
AGENCY SOCIAL WORKERS. 90%
FEMALE 100% OF THE CONTENT OF
SOME OF THE TALK TO CARE. SO.
THE PROPOSAL IS REALLY. AND I'M
THE MEDIC BECAUSE IT A RED TO
STAFF AND WE- TO ALLOW THE COST
OF LIVING COULD NOT BE CUT IN
THE MIDDLE OF THIS CALENDAR
YEAR WHICH IS REALLY
DEVASTATING. TO LET IT GO TO
THE END OF THE YEAR AND WE ARE
GAMBLING AND BETTING. THAT THE
NEW FUND COMING UP IN THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL BACK
SELECT AND THEN IF IT DOESN'T
COME IN YOU CAN ELIMINATE THAT
AND THAT I SHOULD POINT OUT WE
ARE UNDER THE TRIGGER SO
HOPEFULLY THAT WILL COVER IT
BUT IF IT DOESN'T COVER IT.
WE'LL FIND THE FUNDS FOR THAT.
SO JUST REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
SUPPORT. FOR THE FOSTER YEARS.

FOREMOST WE DO WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE- THE INCLUSION OF
DOLLARS AND I APPRECIATE THOSE
FOR THE RESPONSE THAT RESULT
BETTER THAN THEIR COMMUNITIES
SERVICE PROVIDER PARTNERS. I
HAVE HAD IN THE RESPONDING TO
THE KOBE AND HEALTH CARE

HAD TO REACT VERY QUICKLY AND
HAS HAD TO- CHANGE SERVICES FOR
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE AND REACT WITH- VERY
NIMBLE AND CREATIVE SERVICE
DELIVERY AND APPRECIATE THE
FISCAL RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO
DO THAT. LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT
YEAR I THINK EVERYONE. YOU
TROUBLED BY THE- THE PROSPECT
OF BE ECONOMIC SITUATION BUT
LIFE AND BROUGHT ABOUT AND I
WANT TO CALL OUT SPECIFICALLY
THE PROPOSED PROVIDER CUT. AND
SPECIFICALLY BE THREE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS GENERAL FUND
WHICH TRANSLATES TO ALMOST HALF
A BILLION DOLLARS IN- RATE CUTS
AND OTHER EFFICIENCIES THE-
PURCHASE OF SERVICE. WE KNOW
THAT THIS FIFTEEN HAVE
STRUGGLED MIGHTILY WITH UNDER
FUNDING FOR A VERY LONG TIME
AND ARE CONCERNED THAT THESE
TYPES OF CUTS. WILL RESULT IN
LESS QUALITY OF LIFE- MORE
ABUSE AND NEGLECT THAT GOES
UNDETECTED BECAUSE OF MORE
PROFESSIONAL YOU HAVEN'T
SOMEONE LIKE THE GREATER THE
LIKELIHOOD. THAT THIS
VULNERABLE POPULATION HAS
ADDITIONAL EYES ON THEM- WE ARE
IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSITIONING
TO A NEW NORMAL YOU KNOW OUR
OLD NORMAL WAS THERE FOR A VERY
LONG TIME. AND THEN WE KIND OF
ONE INCH OF THIS PLACE WHERE OF
COURSE BECAUSE OF- CONCERNED
ABOUT CONGREGATE SETTING AND-
WE NEED TO SOCIALLY DISPENSED.
FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT TOMORROW LOOKS
LIKE AND THE DAY AFTER AND THE
DAY AFTER THAT AND THEN FINALLY
WATER NEAR NORMAL BOOKS LIKE-
WE WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT AS WE-
MOVE INTO THAT PHRASE THAT
THERE BE- FUNDING MADE
AVAILABLE TO. ALLOW THE SYSTEM
TO BALANCE BUT HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF. PARTICIPANTS IN THE
PROGRAM BUT ALSO THE
PRESERVATION OF CRITICAL
RESOURCES AND THERE IS A
DOCUMENT THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY
A NUMBER OF SERVICE PROVIDERS.
THAT OUTLINED THE REALLY NICE
PLAN FOR HOW TO BALANCE THOSE
TWO INTEREST. AS WE MOVE
FORWARD AND WE MUST NOT FORGET
THAT IN THIS TIME ONE OF THE
REMARKABLE THINGS THAT WE'VE
SEEN IS THAT PEOPLE WITH
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES HAVE
HAD MUCH MUCH LOWER RATE THAT
OKAY NINETEEN. EXPOSURE
DIAGNOSIS AND DEATH THEN WE
WOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED GIVEN
THE MEDICAL FERTILITY AND
VULNERABILITY OF THE POPULATION
AND WE OWE THAT TO THE DIRECT
SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE.
REALLY DONE AMAZING WORK WITH
THEM. AND SO IT'S KIND OF
IRONIC THAT NOW WE'RE IN A
SPACE WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
HAVING TO MAKE CUTS TO THAT
VERY- GRADUAL WORKFORCE.
ADDITIONALLY WE ARE CONCERNED
AND OPPOSE THE- THE PROPOSED
CUTS CHIU RESULT IN OUR
OPERATIONS. THE HOW MANY A TIME
WHEN HE SAID MORE TO THE
PROVIDER NETWORK WE DON'T
CENTERS WERE ALREADY STRUGGLING
UNDER EXISTING MANDATES WE WERE
OVER EIGHT HUNDRED SERVICE
COORDINATOR SHORT STATEWIDE.
AND NOW WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND
THE NEED TO INCREASE ACCESS TO
GENERIC RESOURCES AGAIN TO
PROVIDE REALLY ROBUST SERVICES
TO PEOPLE AND DOING THAT WHILE
AT THE SAME TIME FINDING IF IT
SHOULD BE THE FUNDING IS JUST A
VERY SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES-
AND ONE THAT. MEANS THAT EACH
PERSON SERVED IN THE SYSTEM
POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE LAST
SERVICE COORDINATION EFFORTS AT
A TIME WHEN WE'RE EXPECTING-
GREATER NEED TO WALK PEOPLE
THROUGH GENERIC SERVICES
ADDING- ACCESSING THAT WAS AN
ESPECIALLY THE MEDI CAL PROGRAM.
AS AN ASSOCIATION WE ARE
COMMITTED TO MOBILIZING OUR
COMMUNITY TO DO YOUR PART CHIU-
SERVE AS- TO SECURE IT MUCH FF
HE IS POSSIBLE. AND FINALLY I
DO WANT TO NOTE GO SIGNIFICANT
CONCERN WE HAVE ABOUT PROPOSED
CUTS TO MEDICAL PROGRAM- ICF
GREAT BE BAD I INTEREST THAT
BECAUSE THESE ARE ALSO PROGRAMS
THAT PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES RELY UPON.AND
THAT HISTORICALLY WHEN THEY'RE
BEEN CUTS IN THOSE PROGRAMS.
REGIONAL BETTORS HAVE BEEN
THERE TO BACK FILL SOME OF THE-
UNMET NEEDS THAT RESULTS IN
THAT. THE GOVERNORS BUT NAY
REVISION BUCKING CLUED
ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR REACH
AUTHORS TO DO THAT. SO WE ARE
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A LOT OF
THOSE NEEDS BETTER CREATED BY
THE- PROPOSED CUTS IN THOSE
OTHER. WILL BUT NEGATIVE VOTE

WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES

THE FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION
COORDINATOR CHILDREN'S BUREAU.
THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU HAS BEEN
PROVIDING SERVICES TO CHILDREN
AND FAMILIES IN THE CHILD
WELFARE SYSTEM FOUR HUNDRED AND
FIFTEEN YEARS AND I HAVE BEEN
WITH CHILDREN TO GROW
PERSONALLY FOR OVER TWENTY
YEARS. AND I AM PASSIONATE
ABOUT THE FOSTER FAMILY AGENCY
SYSTEM AND HAVE PRIMARILY
WORKED IN IN FOSTER CARE FOR MY
ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
AND I'M I'M ENCOURAGING THE
COMMITTEE TO PLEASE SUPPORT
FOSTER FAMILY AGENCY SOCIAL
WORKERS AND TO PLEASE RESTORE
THE FUNDING THAT GOVERNOR
NEWSOME JUST ELIMINATED IN THE
PROPOSED BUDGET. I CARE I
PERSONALLY CARE DEEPLY FOR
FOSTER CHILDREN AND THE
FAMILIES THAT WE SERVE SOCIAL
WORKERS ARE ESSENTIAL WORKERS
AT ALL TIMES COLD OR NO COLD IT
VULNERABLE CHILDREN WHO'VE BEEN
SEPARATED FROM THEIR BIRTH
FAMILIES DUE TO ABUSE NEGLECT
TRAUMA AND OTHER ADVERSE LIFE
EXPERIENCES. IN MY OPINION
THERE IS NO MORE IMPORTANT ROLE
THAN BEING A SOCIAL WORKER
PROTECTING FOSTER CHILDREN
PROVIDING THEM WITH SERVICES
AND SUPPORT. TO HEAL AND
OVERCOME THE TRAGEDY OF ABUSE
AND LOSS OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL
FAMILY WE ARE ALSO CHARGED WITH
SUPPORTING EFFORTS TO REUNIFY
CHILDREN WITH THEIR FAMILIES A
RESPONSIBILITY WE TAKE
SERIOUSLY. OUR GOAL IS THE
SAFETY PERMANENCY AND WELL
BEING OF FOSTER CHILDREN.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT SOCIAL
WORKER STABILIY IS THE NUMBER
ONE INDICATOR OF FOSTER USED TO
ACHIEVE PERMANENCY WITH AS HAS
BEEN ALREADY SAID BY MY AMAZING
COLLEAGUES LAURA RICHARDSON
KATY WALTER AND SHE SWORE
SOMEBODY FROM SENECA FAMILY OF
AGENCIES AND JACQUI ROUGH HOUSE
ARE FROM THE ALLIANCE. OF CHILD
AND FAMILY SERVICES THAT WITH
ONE SOCIAL WORKER THERE'S A 75%
RATE OF PERMANENCY AND IT
DROPPED 18% WHEN THERE ARE TWO
MORE SOCIAL WORKERS SERVING
FAMILIES. WE ALL HAVE THE SAME
GOALS TO HELP OUR FOSTER
CHILDREN BUT REDUCING FUNDING
TO SOCIAL WORKERS WILL SEVERELY
UNDERCUT. THE CHANCE OF
PERMANENCY FOR OUR FOSTER YOU.
I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO KEEP THE
FUNDING IN THE BUDGET BECAUSE I
FOSTER CHILDREN DESERVE TO HAVE
A PERMANENT FAMILY. IT DOES NOT
MAKE SENSE TO TAKE AWAY THE
SOCIAL WORKER ONE TIME FUNDING.
THAT WE SO DESPERATELY NEEDED
LAST YEAR AND NEED TO CONTINUE

COVERED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
WITH FAMILY OR INDIRECTLY
THROUGH THE ARE PEOPLE OF THEIR
LIVES. THE SOCIAL WORKER IS
SUCH A KEY CONTACT IN SUCH A
