See links below. Rally for Action in D.C. on December 11 The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) has organized a rally on Wednesday, December 11th, at 11:30 AM (EST) with key stakeholders and presidents from numerous influential organizations. Some of the groups attending are the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), California Retired Teachers Association (CalRTA), International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), National Education Association (NEA), AFL-CIO, National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE), and more, will come together in Washington, D.C., for a rally that promises to make a strong statement to the Senators. This united front sends a clear message: The time to act is now. The rally will feature remarks from Senator Sherrod Brown, a steadfast advocate for our cause. Following his speech, participants will visit Senate offices to engage directly with lawmakers and their staff. The ultimate goal is to push Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to schedule the critical floor vote necessary for progress. This moment demands action not only from those attending the rally but also from our membership. I urge you to participate in the daily alerts and amplify our message by taking action multiple times each day. Every email, call, or outreach effort contributes to building the momentum we need. This is a significant opportunity to show the strength of our collective voice. Let’s make it count. Stay tuned for further updates, and thank you for your continued dedication to our shared mission.

The American people have spoken, and the House of Representatives passed this critical legislation with a historic, bipartisan 327-vote majority. This overwhelming support underscores the urgent need to rectify the unfair penalties imposed by the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which continue to harm millions of hardworking public servants. The time to act is now. We need your leadership to ensure that H.R. 82 moves forward to become law. Delaying action on this issue perpetuates inequities that the American people—and your colleagues in Congress—have already recognized as unjust. This is an opportunity to stand with the American people and fulfill a promise to those who have dedi

----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Harry Bernstein <riquerique@...> To: Kristen Pursley <kpursley@...> Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 03:27:45 AM PST Subject: update on one of Sunday's topics Hello, Kristen I heard that the rally planned for Social Security Fairness (to be passed in the Senate) will take place on December 11, not Monday, December 9. Some of the pressure, at least, is on Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. I have heard about efforts to persuade/urge him to bring the measure to the floor for a vote, where it may or may not have enough votes at this time, notwithstanding the nominal support of 62 Senators. I also saw this comment in U.S.A. today, a recent issue: > A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) responded late Sunday to USA TODAY saying the Act is “a high priority to get done this year.” That's the first time I heard about his opinion on the matter. Schumer himself could use a procedure to bring the bill to the floor, bypassing the (Finance) committee. One other strategy I've seen suggested. Attaching this bipartisan measure (S. 597) to a must-pass piece of legislation, such as the Defense Authorization Bill. Senator Angus "King said he remains hopeful the bipartisan bill will get attached to a “must pass” spending bill like the National Defense Reauthorization Act and pass." And a final quote: “It is shameful that such a widely supported measure has yet to be scheduled for a vote,” said Susan Dixon, 68, retired schoolteacher in San Clemente, California, and president of the California Retired Teachers Association. “I will be at the rally to ensure our voices are heard and to demand action for the millions of retirees who deserve fairness and respect. It is also critical that our Senators are present for votes the next two weeks.” Best regards, Harry Bernstein

Hi Folks, Putting this on your radar - Senate Bill 4776 reauthorizes the Older Americans Act which was initially passed in 1966. SB 4776 would renew funding for 2025 thru 2029. I think it's something we should know about - and think about - as think about funding sources for Older Adults Adult Ed in California. Something we should maybe discuss at our next meeting is the possibility that the US Dept of Ed is restructured or eliminated under the Trump administration. That's fed - not state - level - but it's something we need to keep our eye as there could/would be multiple consequences. Lastly, I learned about this because I follow various caregiver accounts on social media. There was recently a big national caregiver summit. More info: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60710 S. 4776 would amend the Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965, which authorizes services to the elderly. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) administers most programs authorized by the act, including congregate and home-delivered meals, home and community-based supportive services (such as assistance with transportation, in-home care, and adult day care), and support for caregivers. The Department of Labor (DOL) administers the Senior Community Service Employment program, which provides low-income senior citizens with work-based job training and community service opportunities. The authorization for OAA programs expires at the end of fiscal year 2024; those programs received discretionary appropriations totaling $2.3 billion that year. https://acl.gov/about-acl/authorizing-statutes/older-americans-act Congress passed the Older Americans Act (OAA) in 1965 in response to concern by policymakers about a lack of community social services for older persons. The original legislation established authority for grants to states for community planning and social services, research and development projects, and personnel training in the field of aging. The law also established the Administration on Aging (AoA) to administer the newly created grant programs and to serve as the federal focal point on matters concerning older persons. Although older individuals may receive services under many other federal programs, today the OAA is considered to be a major vehicle for the organization and delivery of social and nutrition services to this group and their caregivers. It authorizes a wide array of service programs through a national network of 56 state agencies on aging, 618 area agencies on aging, nearly 20,000 service providers, 281 Tribal organizations, and 1 Native Hawaiian organization representing 400 Tribes. The OAA also includes community service employment for low-income older Americans; training, r

https://edsource.org/2024/first-forecast-for-2025-26-school-funding-more-money-with-a-twist/722723 From Cynthia -- It's very important to know what's in the bank before you go to ask for a loan. Aka it's easier to ask for $$$ for Older Adults Adult Education classes in years when funding is good. Article from John Fensterwald of Edsource: Higher revenues than Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislators predicted will likely produce a modest increase in funding in 2025-26 for TK-12 schools and community colleges, the Legislative Analyst’s Office projected on Wednesday. The growth in revenues will also pay down a big portion of the state’s debt to education, with enough to sock away money into a rainy day fund for education that was depleted by the Legislature last year. But at the same time, a rarely invoked constitutional provision would deny schools and community colleges billions in funding that they would otherwise get, the LAO said. The LAO’s annual state budget forecast is the first hint of how much funding schools and community colleges can expect when Newsom releases his budget in early January. How to spend the new funding amid pressure from competing interest groups — always a challenge — will be up to Newsom and the Legislature. The LAO is projecting only a $1.5 billion increase (1.3%) for 2025-26 above the $115.3 billion approved in June for 2024-25 for Proposition 98, the quarter-century-old voter-approved formula that determines the minimum amount that must go to schools and community colleges. It comprises 40% of the state’s annual general fund. Stay up-to-date Sign-up below to receive breaking news alerts from EdSource by text message. But combined with an additional $3.7 billion freed up from expiring one-time costs and Proposition 98 adjustments, schools and community colleges can anticipate a 2.46% cost-of-living-adjustment for programs like the Local Control Funding Formula, the primary source of spending for TK-12. That will leave $2.8 billion in new, uncommitted spending. (The LAO suggests using a piece of that to wipe off $400 million in “deferrals,” late payments to schools that will be carried over from year to year unless paid off.) Even though California’s economy has been slowing and the unemployment rate is higher, the 2024-25 Proposition 98 level is projected to be $118.3 billion, $3 billion more than the Legislature set in June; however, none of the increase will go to the pockets of school districts and community colleges. All of it, by statute, will be deposited into the Proposition 98 reserve account unless the Legislature overrides the law. “I think that’s the element of our forecast that will surprise school groups the most,” said Ken Kapphahn, principal fiscal and policy analyst for the LAO. “I think many people do understand revenue is up in 2024-25. What isn’t as well understood is that the increase is going into the reserve and not available for them.” “Building reserves is a good use of one-time funding,” he said. “We just saw how valuable those reserves can be when we went through $9.5 billion from the reserve. That was a big reason why the state didn’t have to cut ongoing school programs last year. In some ways, making a deposit makes sense right now; it’s an opportunity to rebuild that reserve.” A big increase in tax receipts from capital gains income, which governs when and how much is deposited into the rainy-day fund, is the source of the money, the LAO said. Much of it is from stock options and reflects the wealth gap between well-compensated high-tech employees and other workers. There’s also expected to be enough money by the end of 2024-25 to pay off nearly two-thirds of the $8 billion debt to schools and community colleges in 2022-23, caused by a revenue shortfall resulting from a short Covid-19 recession. The Proposition 98 debt to schools is called a “maintenance factor.” Repaying it becomes the top state priority once more revenue becomes available — to the extent of capturing 95 cents of every new dollar in the general fund. The LAO projects that the maintenance factor will be

[EXTERNAL Email: Do not click any links or open attachments if you do not trust the sender and know the content is safe.] forward from Dennis Cox: NOW we need to act TODAY!! Urgent Action Needed for H.R. 82 Vote. It is DO or DIE time. WE NEED you to act Today, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. A last-minute, irregular effort made to have H.R. 82 tabled in a tricky maneuver by Representatives (Harris and Good) on election day has been quickly addressed. Yesterday (Friday 11/8) Representative Arrington had H.R. 5342 placed on the House calendar for a vote in place of H.R. 82. Arrington’s bill offers ONLY $100/mo of additional SS benefit to those who lose much more than that due to the WEP penalty. His bill offers NOTHING to those losing spousal and survivor benefits because of GPO penalties. The bill has limited backing with 37 cosponsors—36 Republicans and one Democrat. NOW - H.R. 82 is again Scheduled for a Floor Vote Tuesday, November 12th. Representatives Graves and Spanberger worked hard to reschedule H.R. 82 for a vote. Both H.R 82 and H.R. 5342 will be on the Floor of the House on Tuesday. YOUR ACTION IS REQUIRED NOW to ensure H.R. 82, with its 330 cosponsors, is the bill that passes. Therefore, it is CRUCIAL that EVERYONE contacts their own Representative and strongly urge them to actively support and vote for H.R. 82 full repeal. CALL TO ACTION | Please CALL and EMAIL your Representative to honor his/her commitment as a cosponsor and vote in favor of H.R. 82. (There is a cosponsor and noncosponsor suggested message below).

Co Sponsor Suggested Message Dear Representative (insert last name), As we approach the upcoming November floor vote, I want to express my appreciation for your pivotal role as a cosponsor of H.R. 82. Your unwavering support is crucial in addressing the injustices caused by the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset, which have adversely affected countless public servants for far too long. I am confident that you will remain steadfast in your commitment to this vital legislation. Your cosponsorship reflects not just an understanding of these issues but a strong promise to take meaningful action when it matters most. We cannot afford any further delays — our dedicated public servants deserve resolution now. That resolution must be a FULL Repeal of WEP and GPO penalties, which is H.R.82. With the backing of 330 cosponsors, this bipartisan initiative represents a powerful symbol of hope and justice for our pension system. H.R. 82 directly addresses the erosion of retirement security for those who have devoted their lives to public service, providing a path to rectify these

This impacts many teachers - especially Adult Ed teachers in CA as many of us have worked in both public and private sector and qualify for both STRS and Social Security Please add this to the agenda for the OAEF meeting tomorrow, Nov 10. 11/9/24 - Important Update on WEP/GPO Repeal Efforts Message from President Susan Dixon: H.R. 82 Scheduled for a Floor Vote Tuesday, November 12th The Freedom Caucus, including Representatives Harris and Good, has agreed to not oppose a Unanimous Consent request related to Tuesday's actions, under the condition that H.R. 5342, the Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act spearheaded by Representative Arrington, is also considered under suspension. This agreement is crucial as it not only resolves a standoff but also propels our bill, H.R. 82, back on schedule for a vote by suspension this Tuesday. Action Required for H.R. 82 It is crucial that we intensify our efforts IMMEDIATELY to ensure the passage of H.R. 82. Email and call your Representative TODAY, SUNDAY, and TUESDAY. We need to advocate strongly for EXCLUSIVE support of H.R. 82, emphasizing the necessity of this bill to repeal these unfair penalties. The other bill that will now be addressed - Equal Treatment of Public Servants Act (H.R. 5342) - proposes amendments ONLY to the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). The bill, which currently has limited backing with 37 cosponsors—36 Republicans and one Democrat—provides only for an additional monthly payment of $100 to individuals affected by the WEP, and their dependents would receive an extra $50 per month. H.R. 5342 does NOT address the Government Pension Offset (GPO). Tuesday morning CalRTA will send another Alert Email. BE SURE TO ACT ON THE LEGISLATIVE ALERT – CONTACTING YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE TO ONLY VOTE YES ON H.R 82 But you DON'T NEED TO WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY.

At your college, you may be dealing with comparable or similar issues. Greetings: City College of San Francisco HEAT (CCSFHEAT.org) has called a rally on October 24 at 5:00 outside the MUB building by Frida Kahlo Way on the Ocean Campus. Attached is our rally flyer with our demands for more classes, for the building of the voter approved theatre (PAEC), and for the parking needs of students to be addressed. Certainly, these are not the only concerns—the mayor is threatening to reduce agreed to funding for Free City. We see our campaign as one in favor of greater resources being devoted to public education and not squandered on enabling billionaires to accumulate more wealth and the military. We hope you can attend and spread the word. Two flyers are attached—one includes contact information for the chancellor and the board. The second publicizes the rally.

He closed his flex day address on October 15 saying, “Make sure we are serving our students and community the best we can.” Yet, he must have been aware of the hundreds, if not thousands, of students who could not enroll in classes in the fall resulting from too few classes being scheduled. He did nothing about this problem. He could have addressed it by drawing on the millions stashed away in the college’s reserve account that is beyond legal requirements. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elchorro" group.

Your response is important to us and will help us make improvements for future events. Your Comments: So much information available today! Thank you! I do want to mention that educational opportunities for people as they age are so important. I am with an organization, Older Adults Education Forever, that supports teachers and students in older adults programs in adult school and community college settings. Our older adult students have made it very clear how vital these programs are for them. Unfortunately, older adults education programs are very unequally distributed in California. A few areas have strong programs, but in most areas affordable education opportunities especially designed for seniors are disappearing or gone. California used to offer free classes for older adults through its adult school system, but the state defunded these programs in 2013. Community colleges can still offer free educational opportunities for older adults, funded by the state. But policy pressures on community colleges are causing many to cut back or eliminate classes for older adults, if they ever had them. In order to really create a California for all ages and abilities, the state should consider restoring older adults programs through adult schools and encouraging community colleges to maintain and expand their older adults programs. Educational opportunities advance many of the aims of the Master Plan: combatting isolation, reducing the incidence of dementia, providing seniors with a supportive community and a way to get much-needed information. Educational opportunities for seniors are a "missing piece" of the Master Plan. Including education would help the plan come to fruition in so many ways.
