The Administration on Aging FY 2010 Budget Request
The FY 2010 President's Budget request for the Administration on Aging (AoA) is $1,491,343,000 – the same level of funding as in the FY 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act, which included funding for multiple appropriations bills including that of the Department of Health and Human Services. This means that the majority of AoA programs will remain funded at the same level as in FY 2009.
With this budget request, AoA will be able to continue to fund high quality, consumer-oriented services to this country's most vulnerable citizens. At the same time, AoA will continue to be an active contributing partner in reforming health and long term care. Together these efforts will continue to ensure that vulnerable elders continue to have the information, access and services necessary to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible.
Under the request, additional funding is requested in two areas:
Health and Long Term Care Programs (+2,589,000): The additional funding will be used to build on the evaluation that began in FY 2009 of AoA's health and long-term care programs—Aging and Disability Resource Centers, Evidence-Based Disease and Disability Prevention Programs and Community Living - which Congress has directed AoA to expand nationally.
Program Administration (+$2,534,000): The request also provides additional funding for administrative resources. These resources are necessary to allow AoA to begin to make needed investments in human capital development, information technology and other activities that are needed to effectively reach out to citizens, promote efficiency and innovation, and provide transparency and accountability. This will begin to enable AoA to meet the challenges posed by an increasing aging population in an environment of reforming health and long term care.
Program Innovations (-$5,123,000): The FY 2010 request does not include funding for one-time, one-year Congressional earmarks projects whose selection was incorporated into law by reference in the FY 2009 Omnibus bill. There are no other programmatic funding decreases or program eliminations proposed as part of the FY 2010 President's Budget request.
