Fw: Arc and Effort to Pay You Falls Short!

[Guest guest]

FYI...

Sure wish we could come up with some other strategy other than more borrowing...

On the one hand, it is unconscionable that agencies are going unpaid, on the

other, digging a deeper hole doesn't sound right either...any thoughts?

If you feel that this is the only way, by all means, contact your legislators

immediately and let them know how you feel...in any event, we should be

contacting our legislators to remind them repeatedly that our agencies are not

getting paid. They must be held accountable. Ask them what they plan on doing

about it.

Arc and Effort to Pay You Falls Short!

The Arc of Illinois

January 14, 2010

Leaders in The Arc:

I am sorry to report to you than an effort to advance payments to human service

providers failed in the Senate yesterday afternoon.

I had thought agreement had been met between the parties in the Senate to

advance Senate Bill 1425, but it appears that agreement had a short life!

Senate Bill 1425 would have authorized $250,000,000 to be issued only during

fiscal year 2010 for the making of deposits into the Healthcare Provider Relief

Fund for the exclusive purpose of funding Medicaid services subject to the

enhanced federal participation due to expire on December 31, 2010.

You need to talk to your Senators about putting aside politics and working

together to help fund human services! The payment delays we are faced with are

unacceptable!

Yes, this would have meant more borrowing by the state, but right now that is

our only option for getting paid! The next opportunity to advance SB 1425 is

after the primary election when legislators return to the Capitol on February

3rd.

Call your Senators next week!
