FISCAL IMPACT:
County to receive $30,641 which includes the increased funding of $569 (MI-0910-07, Amendment 1). No County match.
BACKGROUND:
The California Department of Aging received a two-year non-competitive grant from the Federal government providing funds to California's Aging Network to assist in expanding Medicare beneficiary enrollment in the Prescription Drug Benefit Low Income Subsidy Program, the Medicare Savings Program, and outreach and enrollment efforts for Medicare. The increased funding reflects carryover of unexpended funds from fiscal year 2009-2010 to fiscal year 2010-2011.
