Increases federal appropriation to reflect recent increases to the Disability Determination Services grant provided by the Social Security Administration.
Provides new general fund and transfers existing general fund from within the agency to increase available state match dollars for the federal vocational rehabilitation block grant. Federal appropriation is also adjusted to reflect the impact of increasing the state match contribution. Additionally, budget language referencing current federal award and state match levels is updated and adjusted to increase visibility around state match spending.
Increases the base award allocation for 20 local Long Term Care Ombudsman units at Area Agencies on Aging to mitigate staff turnover, improve recruitment, and strengthen the quality of current services.
Adjusts appropriation and budget details, including program and service area designations, to accurately represent the agency's intended operational approach.
Increases funding for the Personal Assistance Services (PAS) program to remain competitive with rates for similar services provided through the Medicaid Home and Community Based Services waivers. PAS participants are individuals with severe disabilities and/or brain injuries who have been found ineligible for in-home assistance services provided through Medicaid or comparable channels.
Increases the administrative cost recovery cap for Long Term Employment Support Services (LTESS) and Extended Employment Services (EES) to support actual program management costs. This is a language-only adjustment and does not change overall appropriation for LTESS and EES.
Updates the existing minimum general fund allocation for Centers for Independent Living (CILs) to reflect the actual amount of general fund appropriated to the agency as state support for CILs. This language-only action clarifies the proportion of general fund that is provided alongside nongeneral funds as part of existing state support levels and does not change the total amount of state support provided to CILs.
This amendment provides $2.5 million from the general fund each year to increase support for Area Agencies on Aging and address both increased costs for current services and increased demand for home care services, transportation, nutritional services, and other critical services that allow elderly individuals to age in place.
This amendment provides an additional $750,000 from the general fund each year for community services for individuals with brain injury. Community service providers continue to have waiting lists for services and struggle to meet existing service needs of this population that require specialized supports. This funding would support the existing state-contracted safety net brain injury services system to provide for increased statewide coverage of critical services and strengthen existing programs to include: hiring additional case managers and clinical professional staff, equipment and information technology modernization, statewide awareness/education efforts, and other critical supports to meet the growing demands for brain injury services across the state.
This amendment provides an additional $750,000 GF each year for workforce retention for brain injury services providers in order to address workforce retention, increasing costs for services, and the continued provision of quality, accessible services for people living with brain injuries.
This amendment provides $400,000 the first year from the general fund to the County of Fairfax to continue support to the Washington Area Villages Exchange pilot program to reduce the public health risk of social isolation among older Virginians by expanding the availability of Villages statewide. Villages are a proven means of combating isolation while enabling older adults to age in place and live safely and independently in their homes. Language requires the Washington Area Villages Exchange to report on the results of the pilot program by September 1, 2027.
