It was noted the State Legislation is coming down to its last two weeks to get bills past as of today. Once these are passed the Governor will have 30 days to sign them. In December they will meet for one-week to organize and then again in January 2017 to begin work on FY 17-18. AB 1584: Sponsored by Assemblymember Cheryl This bill will restore the COLA to the SSP portion of the SSI/SSP payment. It has passed the Senate and needs to go to the Assembly for confirmation and then on the Governor for signature. CAPA working with CA4SSI is in support of this. Thanked Randy Hicks for his work on this through CA4SSI. Generally this type of bill goes through the budget committee, but it is being pushed by Assemblymember Brown who is a strong advocate for Senior and Disabled People interests.
