services with no change in term of August 1, 2009 through May 31, 2011.
FISCAL IMPACT:
County to receive $30,641 which includes the increased funding of $569 (MI-0910-07, Amendment 1). No County
match.
BACKGROUND:
The California Department of Aging received a two-year non-competitive grant from the Federal
government providing funds to California's Aging Network to assist in expanding Medicare beneficiary enrollment in
the Prescription Drug Benefit Low Income Subsidy Program, the Medicare Savings Program, and outreach and
enrollment efforts for Medicare. The increased funding reflects carryover of unexpended funds from fiscal year
