|
Analysis of settlement agreement reached by the state and plaintiffs for two IHSS lawsuits
|
We recommend that the Legislature give serious consideration to effectuating the general thrust of the settlement agreement, as it appears to be a reasonable compromise between the state's and the plaintiffs' interests. However, because of the lack of specificity provided in the settlement for an assessment on home care services, we withhold our recommendation on this aspect of the settlement.

Increase reimbursements and add provisional language for Employment Training Panel
|
Recommend approving the increase in reimbursements for the Employment Training Panel (ETP) but rejecting the provisional language. This language would give the administration authority to increase ETP's reimbursement budget by up to $3 million without legislative review. Control section 28.5 already allows for midyear reimbursement augmentations and includes a legislative review process.
