Bill > HF1472

This bill appropriates funds to support the Minnesota Board on Aging by allocating $1,995,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $2,071,000 in fiscal year 2027 from the general fund. The funding is specifically designated to add several new full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to enhance aging services: one FTE to ensure compliance with federal regulations and provide technical assistance to the seven area agencies on aging, another FTE to support compliance and policy development for services under the federal Older Americans Act, two FTEs to support the operational needs of the Senior LinkAge Line (a statewide information and assistance service for older adults), and 18 additional staff positions for area agencies on aging contact centers to support Senior LinkAge Line operations. The appropriation will be added to the board's base funding, indicating these are ongoing, permanent positions intended to improve support and services for Minnesota's senior population.
