BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
health clients who are not yet receiving SSI/SSP (but who are potentially eligible and have made formal application
to the Social Security Administration for SSI/SSP), contingent upon the client's signing an agreement with the County
to reimburse the County from the SSI/SSP money, once it is finally granted by the federal government (usually 3 to 6
months retroactively back to the month of application).
On March 9, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-086-145(6) for the period from January 1, 2010
through December 31, 2010, for the provision of emergency residential care.
Approval of Contract #24-086-145(7) will allow the Contractor to continue to provide services through December 31,
2011, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of
this Contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer emergency residential facilities to provide services to SSI/SSP
eligible Clients in the Continuing Care Program.
