It is good news that President Obama signed the 2016 Older Americans Act (OAA) Reauthorization into law this week. Our local Monterey County services including Alliance on Aging’s HICAP, Ombudsman, Outreach and Benefits Checkup programs receive Older Americans funding for the services they provide. Meals on Wheels, Legal Services for Seniors, Alzheimer’s Association and some other senior providers are also recipients of this funding. This reauthorization is a very important step to ensure the continuation of these services and funding.
