RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE clarification of Board action of September 11, 2018 (Item C.39) which approved and authorized the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept grant funding from California Health Advocates for the Senior Medicare Patrol Program, to change the term from September 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 to September 1, 2018 through May 31, 2019 with no change in the grant payment limit of $3,500.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive $3,500 from California Health Advocates, 100% Federal funds, with no County match.

BACKGROUND:

Funding will support the Employment and Human Services Department, Aging and Adult Bureau, Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) provide a Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) liaison who will focus on outreach and education to prevent, detect, and report Medicare fraud, errors, and abuses.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the grant term clarification, the Senior Medicare Patrol Prgram funding period would be reduced.
