SACRAMENTO, CALIF (CDCAN) [Updated 05/14/2010 01:08 PM (Pacific Time)] – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed this afternoon as part of his overall package of budget revisions a proposal that rescinds his previously proposed cuts to the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program that serves over 460,000 children and adults with disabilities – including developmental, the blind and low income seniors and instead replaces it with a proposal for a $750 million reduction to the program, with details to be developed using a stakeholder group and presented to the Legislature by July 1st. The stakeholder group – which would be limited in members – would be led by officials from the Schwarzenegger Administration directly with the Department of Social Services – the state agency that oversees the IHSS program statewide – providing technical assistance. The Administration would make the final decision on what would be proposed to the Legislature July 1st.
CDCAN Report #067-2010: Schwarzenegger Administration to Proposed Increasing Regional Center Operations and Provider Payment Cut to 4.25% - Budget Subcommittee Hearings on Developmental Services 4/29 and 5/5
Mon, 2010-04-26 16:39 — chrisSCHWARZENEGGER ADMINISTRATION TO PROPOSE INCREASING CUT TO REGIONAL CENTER OPERATIONS & TO MOST REGIONAL CENTER PROVIDERS TO 4.25%
Developmental Services Focus of Senate Budget Subcommittee Hearing 4/29 – Assembly Budget Subcommittee Hearing 5/5 Also on IHSS and SSI/SSP – Lanterman DC Proposed Closure to Be Heard Both Dates
SACRAMENTO, CALIF (CDCAN) [Updated 04/26/2010 03:16 PM (Pacific Time)] - The Schwarzenegger Administration will propose increasing the reduction in payments to most regional center providers and regional center operations from 3% to 4.25%, likely effective during the 2010-2011 State Budget year that begins July 1. The Legislature – which already approved extending the 3% cut into the 2010-2011 State Budget year in February, will need to approve the additional cut.
The additional reduction is part of the Governor’s proposed 2010-2011 State Budget released January 8th that called for an additional $25 million in State general fund reductions in spending for regional centers on top of the cuts already enacted last February and July. However the additional 1.25% cut to most regional center provider payments and to regional center operations would total far more than the $25 million cut in State general fund spending the Governor proposed in January.
