II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no County contribution or required match for this
program. The California Department of Aging's HICAP Program
will fund $62 ,682 . Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy
Program costs not covered by this grant will be covered by
additional federal grants, i .e. , Title IIIB Coordination and
Title IV Project CARE.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Mandated under AB2419, 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.
