PERMANENT EXTENSION OF COST CONTAINMENT MEASURES
The Budget makes permanent current Regional Center cost containment measures which are expected to result in savings of $366.6 million ($249.3 million General Fund). These measures include the continuation of the current freeze on rates paid for targeted program categories. This rate freeze had previously been scheduled to end June 30, 2008.
EXPANSION OF THE FAMILY COST PARTICIPATION PROGRAM
The Budget includes savings of $1.3 million General Fund resulting from the expansion of the Family Cost Participation Program, to include a share of the cost of respite, day care, and camping services for parents of Early Start consumers. The Early Start Program provides early intervention services to infants and toddlers with a developmental disability, developmental delay, or those at risk of developmental delay or disability, and their families. The share of cost scale will also be expanded to families with incomes at 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and above who will pay 10 percent of the cost of respite, day care, and camping services. Families with incomes at 1,000 percent of the FPL or above will pay 100 percent of the cost of these services.
