RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution 2019/523 to approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with California Department of Aging (Number CF-1920-07) in an amount not to exceed $52,057 for CalFresh outreach activities to Social Security Income/State Supplemental Security Payment (SSI/SSP) recipients, age 60 or older, and to disabled adults for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive an amount not to exceed $52,057 in entirely State funds. No County match is required.











BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the funding is to provide outreach regarding the reversing of the SSI/SSP Cash-Out and provide CalFresh application assistance to SSI/SSP recipients age 60 and older and/or disabled adults in California. In cooperation with California Department of Aging, County will provide outreach activities for the CalFresh Program to those County residents. SSI/SSP Cash-Out refers to the 1974 policy giving states the option to increase monthly SSP funds to SSI/SSP recipients by $10 in lieu of providing federal food benefits to SSI/SSP recipients. County will help identify and provide Cal Fresh outreach activities to individuals who are low income age 60 or older and/or disabled adults and couples who are newly eligible for CalFresh benefits due to the ending of SSI Cash-Out. California is the last state to reverse the SSI/SSP Cash-Out.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding CalFresh outreach activities may not be conducted to SSI/SSP recipients, age 60 or older, and/or to disabled adults.
