Area agencies on aging: federal funding allocations.

Summary
Under existing law, the California Department of Aging administers the federal Older Americans Act in California. Pursuant to this federal act and the Mello-Granlund Older Californians Act, the department allocates federal funds, in accordance with prescribed funding formulas, to area agencies on aging in order to provide an array of services to seniors. Existing regulations provide that, except as prescribed, specified federal Older Americans Act funds allocated to an area agency on aging that remain unencumbered or unexpended at the end of the fiscal year for which the allocation was made shall revert to the department for reallocation to the area agencies on aging. This bill would, notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation, permit an area agency on aging to carry over, for future use, up to 5% of its annual total baseline allocation to fund prescribed purposes. This bill would prohibit an area agency on aging from using the carried over funds to increase baseline services.
