DATE; August 25, 1986 C
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF STATE CONTRACT/
VOLUNTEER HEALTH COUNSELING
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and authorize the Director, Social Service Department, or designee,
to sign State Contract # 29-031-1 (State # HI-8687-02) for provision of
Volunteer Health Insurance Counseling services for the period July 1, 1986
through June 30, 1987 in the amount of $37,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Additional County funds are not required. Local matching funds are already
budgeted by the Office on Aging.
BACKGROUND
Last fiscal year the County submitted a proposal to the State for funding
the Volunteer Health InsuranceCounseling Program. The approved program
has been provided during FY 85/86 in part by a subcontract with Contra
Costa Legal Services Foundation which works on denied claims. These
services are coordinated into the overall program by the Office on Aging
which recruits, trains and fields a group of volunteers to offer a program
aimed at helping Seniors with Medicare and other health insurance problems.
Services are provided at a variety of sites County wide. This format will
be continued.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The Department would be unable to fund its successful health counseling
program for seniors which is already started this fiscal year.
