Older Americans Act Reauthorization

Signed into Law

President Obama signed the Older Americans Act

Reauthorization Act of 2016 into law today reaffirming our

nationrsquos commitment to the health and well-being of older

adults Earlier this year the President called on Congress to reauthorize this

important legislation as part of his remarks at the White House Conference on

Aging

For more than 50 years the Older Americans Act has helped people live the lives

they want with the people they choose throughout their lives Through the

aging services network it has helped older adults continue to work play and

volunteer in their communities to the great benefit of all Because of the Older

Americans Act neighborhoods and organizations across the country are able to

continue to draw upon the wealth of knowledge that comes only with life

experience

The OAA underpins a promise to preserve the right to live independently with

dignity making everyday decisions according to our individual preferences and

goals across our lifespan This promise is more important than ever In a few

short years more than 77 million people will be over the age of 60 and more

than 34 million peoplemdashmostly family and friendsmdashwill be supporting a loved

one who is over 60 These numbers will

continue to grow for the next several decades

The OAA affects everyonemdasholder adults

people who help support them and all of us

who hope to one day grow old I am delighted

to see its reauthorization and I am deeply

grateful for the renewed commitment to

preserving the rights of all people for the full

course of our lives

The Older Americans Act Finally Clears Congress

Source httpwwwnextavenueorgthe-older-americans-act-finally-clears-congress

By Bob Blancato Elder Advocate

Congress finally just passed bipartisan legislation

renewing the Older Americans Act for three years and

President Obama has signed it Passage comes almost

10 years since the Act was last reauthorized a delay

which has been a source of great consternation to older

adults and their advocates

Whatrsquos In the Bill

Why should you care Simply because the legislation

keeps core Older Americans Act programs intact while

adding improvements to the law In essence the bill

allows older adults to remain at home and in the

community by providing them with necessary services

to maintain their independence The Older Americans

Act also saves Medicaid and Medicare untold millions

each year

A key feature of the final bill specific funding levels for

the programs authorizing an increase of 6 percent over

the next three years The bill also tweaked the formula

for allocating funds to the states by allowing increases

for states with growth in their 60+ population and

minimizing any loss in funding to ones that lose

population

A few specifics of the legislation

It will help feed Americarsquos elderly poor Among other

things it maintains separate federal funding for

congregate- and home-delivered meals and will

continue allowing the transfer of funds from the

nutrition program to support other services such as

transportation

Two important improvements in the nutrition area a

call for greater inclusion of local fresh fruits and

vegetables and allowing the services of registered

dietitians more than ever

It will combat elder abuse in important ways

Specifically the legislation calls for improved training

on elder abuse prevention and screening for those

working in the aging field and will let long-term care

ombudsmen assist all residents of long-term care

facilities regardless of age

It will create new support for modernizing

multipurpose senior centers That is expected to

provide better social and learning settings for older

Americans

It will help family caregivers Older adults caring for

adult children with disabilities will be eligible to

participate in the critically important National Family

Caregiver Support Program just as older adults raising

children under 18 can

It will provide older Americans with better information

about resources available to them The bill calls for

improved coordination between Aging and Disability

Resource Centers Area Agencies on Aging and other

community-based entities to provide information and

referral services regarding available home and

community-based services for those at risk of residing

in institutional settings or who already live there

Important services specifically for American Indian

and Alaskan Native populations are protected in this

legislation

Finally the bill would require the federal

government to provide guidance and best practices

to states so they can better serve Holocaust

including all those at risk for life-threatening anaphylaxis This page includes

important facts and statistics that can help you better understand food allergies and

anaphylaxis

How Many People Have Food Allergies

Researchers estimate that up to 15 million Americans have food allergies

This potentially deadly disease affects 1 in every 13 children (under 18 years of age) in the US Thatrsquos roughly

two in every classroom

The number of people who have a food allergy is growing but there is no clear answer as to why

Food Allergy Reactions amp Anaphylaxis

Every 3 minutes a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency department ndash that is more than

200000 emergency department visits per year

A reaction to food can range from a mild response (such as an itchy mouth) to anaphylaxis a severe and

potentially deadly reaction

The US Centers for Disease Control reported that food allergies result in more than 300000 ambulatory-care

visits a year among children under the age of 18 Food allergy is the leading cause of anaphylaxis outside the

hospital setting

Teenagers and young adults with food allergies are at the highest risk of fatal food-induced anaphylaxis

Individuals with food allergies who also have asthma may be at increased risk for severefatal food allergy

reactions

Foods Commonly Associated with Food Allergies

Eight foods account for 90 percent of all reactions milk eggs peanuts tree nuts soy wheat fish and shellfish

Even trace amounts of a food allergen can cause a reaction

Food Allergy Risk Factors and Related Diseases

Food allergies affect children and adults of all races and ethnicity

A food allergy can begin at any age

Your risk of having food allergies is higher if you have a parent who suffers from any type of allergic disease

(asthma eczema food allergies or environmental allergies such as hay fever)

Can You Outgrow a Food Allergy

Peanut and tree nut allergies which also tend to develop in childhood usually are lifelong

Cowrsquos milk egg and soy allergies typically begin in childhood and eventually may be outgrown In the past

most children outgrew these allergies by school age

Fish and shellfish allergies also tend to be lifelong More than 65 million adults are allergic to finned fish and

shellfish

Is There a Cure

There is no cure for food allergies Strict avoidance of food allergens and early recognition and management of

allergic reactions to food are important measures to prevent serious health consequences
