• In: Policy & Advocacy

USAging is hard at work creating a survey for members to weigh in on the new draft OAA regulations, which were released by ACL in June. Look out for the survey in your email early next week. Your feedback will ensure that our comments include your input on how these proposed regulations will affect your agencies and programs. 
 
The survey will touch on some of the most important changes in the proposed regulations, including contracts and commercial relationships, voluntary contributions and cost sharing, private pay programs, guardianship and more. Your feedback will be integral in shaping USAging’s comments to ACL. Comments on the proposed regulations are open until August 15, 2023. If you have any questions about the survey or the proposed regulations, let us know at policy@usaging.org.
