AB 487 California Assembly · 2011-2012 Regular Session

Veterans' homes: fees and charges.

Summary

Existing law provides for the establishment and operation of the Veterans' Home of California at various sites for aged and disabled veterans who meet certain eligibility requirements. Existing law requires members of the homes to pay fees and charges as determined by the department, but prohibit the total of the member's fees and charges for specified types of care for any fiscal year to be greater than a certain percentage of the member's annual income. This bill would instead require the member's fees and charges for any fiscal year be the lesser of a percentage of the member's annual income or a flat amount. This bill would also, beginning January 1, 2012, and each year thereafter, require the flat amount to be recalculated to reflect any changes in the VA disability compensation, as specified, from the previous year.
