Save lifeline for immigrants, elderly, disabled
- Issue: Once again, the state’s short-term disability program is at risk in budget deliberations. The Governor wants to limit eligibility by not considering “vocational factors.” This would cut off about 4,000 people now, perhaps many more down the road. The Senate budget takes a smarter approach, finding savings by working with people receiving GA-U to help them qualify for federal programs and access services that will decrease the length of time they need GA-U. The savings are just as big, and it’s a more compassionate way to balance the budget.
