In just months, CMS has deferred $1.7B from California’s home care programs. California has met every request, yet these actions still jeopardize care for those who need it most, without evidence or data to support CMS’s claims.

The Yurok Tribe has broken ground on the Wah‑Sekw‑Won Treatment Center in Humboldt County — a new 53‑bed, culturally grounded behavioral health facility expanding access to care for Tribal members and local residents. https://t.co/BKd0YnCOyz

CMS keeps deferring IHSS funds without providing any factual basis. California has met every CMS request after the $1.1B deferral, and this uncertainty harms vulnerable Californians who risk losing in-home support.

Today’s announcement from Dr. Oz is the same recycled political stunt we’ve seen before.

California isn’t being targeted because Trump has evidence of fraud. We are being targeted for political reasons — and because Dr. Oz doesn’t understand that we are *SAVING* taxpayers money by keeping seniors and people with disabilities out of far more expensive nursing homes!

We hate fraud. That’s not what this is. And we stand ready to collaborate with CMS in good faith efforts to combat fraud.

$646.4M more deferred from the services that help vulnerable Californians with bathing, dressing, and daily living so they can receive care at home, not in an institution, and cost significantly less than institutional care. CA is still waiting on CMS to act on the LAST deferral.

Between juggling classes, work, and the rising cost of living, finding time for mental health support can feel impossible. Soluna changes that by meeting students where they are with an easy, stress-free entry point.

Check the air quality in your area. Stay inside with your windows and doors closed if there’s poor air quality in your area. If you must go outside wear an N95 or P100 mask.

N95 masks can filter out pollutants, including smoke from fires, and make breathing safer. If you must go outside when there’s smoke in the air, wear an N95 mask to protect your health.
