RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/614 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Aging to increase the contract amount by $34,626 to receive a new total contract amount of $993,674 to provide Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) services for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment 2 will provide an additional $34,626 to the County, for a total amount not to exceed $993,674. The funding increase is 100% Federal funds, with no additional County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department, Area Agency on Aging, provides Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) services to Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare beneficiaries include by virtue of a disability and persons of Medicare eligibility as defined by the Welfare and Institutions Code (W&I) sections 9541 (a) and (c)(2), and (3), and to the public-at-large for HICAP community education services under W&I Code section 9541 (c)(1), (4), (5), and (6).

Amendment 2 increases the total contract funding amount by $34,626 for a 3-year contract amount of $993,674.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without additional funding, HICAP services will not be increased and/or enhanced.
