Attached is a memo from the County Welfare Directors Association of California (CWDA), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), California State Association of Counties (CSAC), the California Association of Public Authorities (CAPA) for IHSS, the Urban Counties of California (UCC), and the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) strongly opposing the May Revision proposal to reduce county administrative funding for IHSS social workers as proposed in the May Revision, through the imposition of fiscal penalties in the amount of $81 million annually to counties for failure to meet timely reassessments under the Community First Choice Option (CFCO). We note this funding reduction could jeopardize the jobs of approximately 322 social workers statewide. This cut would be in addition to the continued and significant underfunding of county IHSS social worker staff staffing, despite the Administration’s findings from its administrative budget methodology reassessment presented this May Revision (as detailed below), thereby undermining counties’ ability to effectively administer the program and putting older adults and persons with disabilities who rely upon the IHSS program at risk.
