Approve and authorize the Director, Social Service

community education, recruitment, training and coordination
of volunteer health insurance counselors in the area of
health insurance and related health care plans. These
volunteers have provided counseling and advocacy services
for seniors County-wide.
The same level of State funding ($37,000) is being requested
for FY 1987-88.

The Department would be unable to continue its successful
health insurance counseling program targeted for low-income
and minority seniors.
