(2009, October). California Budget Cuts Fray the Long-Term Safety Net. Los Angeles, CA: UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. AbstractThis policy brief examines the likely effects of the sweeping 2009 cuts to California's safety-net programs for low-income and disabled seniors. Specifically, it examines reductions in programs that help disabled seniors remain safely at home, including the Supplemental Security Income, In-Home Supportive Services, Adult Day Health Care and other programs. Among the findings: researchers found that up to half a million seniors will have their incomes reduced by the cuts and tens of thousands will lose some or all of their in-home supportive services. The research is based on program data, published research and interviews with key informants in the health and government services sectors (abstract from: http://www.healthpolicy.ucla.edu/pubs/Publication.aspx?pubID=380).
