AUTHORIZE the Director, Office on Aging, to sign and submit
to the California Department of Aging the amended State
Agreement (County #29-031-15) in the amount .of $57,980 which

II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no County contribution or required match for the
HICAP Program. The 7. 5% reduction of $4702 in State funding
is Contra Costa County's share of a statewide reduction of
7. 5% in the HICAP funds as allocated in the final FY 1993-94
State of California Budget.
This decrease in revenue is expected to be fully restored by
additional federal grants. If the increased funding is not
secured, reductions, as needed, in HICAP staffing and
expenditures will be made. No County funds are being
requested.

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
On May 4, 1993 the Board of Supervisors passed the attached
Board Order #29-031-14 for provision of HICAP Services for
FY 93-94 . Concurrently, the State was in the process of
reducing the HICAP program by 7. 5% or $4,702 Contra Costa
County's share.
Mandated under AB 2419, the Health Insurance Counseling and
Advocacy Program has been operated by the County's Office on
Aging for the past eight years. The Program provides
community education, recruitment, training, and coordination
of volunteer counselors in the area of health insurance and
related health care plans. In 1992, these volunteers
provided individual counseling to 1487 senior citizens
county-wide. Documented savings of $122,454 to seniors is
attributed to the successful efforts of HICAP last year.
