As  an ALF operator, I am very concerned about the proposal concerning the auxilary grant program. Why is this program being discriminated against? According to the Department of Social Services, anyone seeking assistance ( Medicaid, TANF, SNAP foodstamps ) in Virginia must only have proof of residency. There is no time frame, in fact some programs provide eligibility as soon as the next day after moving to this state! I see this proposal as another step toward the shutting down of some very good facilities in the Commonwealth. The maximum amount that VA pays (through AG), for the care of the elderly and disabled is a measly $17.00 per day! This is a disgrace to everyone living in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and especially those needing the service.If cuts must be made in the state budget, how about cutting in areas that are making a profit, and leave the indigent alone!
