It is my understanding that some county DSSs are terminating SA for residents due to the decrease in SA checks. You need to know the residents who where eligible September 30th are protected in the law from disenfranchise. A copy of the law is seen below.
If you have residents who have been terminated please call the DSS, send them a copy of the law and ask they be reinstated immediately. If you have problems send me an email with the residents last name, name of facility and county of residence. I will seek assistance from the state for them.
Thank you for all you do for our residents.
