ABOUT THE LAWSUITS Sample Clauses

ABOUT THE LAWSUITS. In 2009, the State of California passed a law to stop all IHSS services to about 30,000 people. The law would have cut hours for help with meals, house cleaning and other home care to another 100,000 people. In 2011, the state passed another law to cut IHSS hours by 20% for many more people. (Some recipients might have been able to get their hours back if they could prove they were at serious risk of out of home placement.) Xxxxx Xxxxx and other IHSS recipients, as well as labor unions for IHSS workers, filed a lawsuit about these cuts in IHSS hours. The defendants are state officials. The lawsuit is called Oster. In 2009, the State also passed a law to cut funding when an IHSS worker makes more than $9.50 per hour. IHSS recipients and labor unions for IHSS workers filed a lawsuit about the wage cuts. The defendants are state officials. The lawsuit is called Xxxxxxxxx. A court in Oakland temporarily stopped the cuts in both cases in 2009 and 2011. The State asked higher courts to let it go ahead with the IHSS cuts. No one can tell how the higher courts might rule. No one can tell if the court in Oakland would stop the cuts forever. ABOUT THE SETTLEMENTS The state has agreed to get rid of the IHSS cuts from 2009 and 2011. These cuts will never go into effect.  There will be no 20% cut in IHSS hours. There will be a one-year cut of 8% starting around July 1, 2013. This is a cut of 4.4% below current hours because there is already a cut of 3.6% that is not part of these lawsuits. (3.6% + 4.4% = 8%).  Around July 2014 the cut in IHSS hours go down to 7%. This is a cut of 3.4% on top of the 3.6% current cut.  You can ask the county for extra hours if your circumstances change.  There will be no cuts in State funding for IHSS wages. The State agreed to ask the federal government for extra money for the IHSS program from a new assessment. The State could end the 7% cut as early as 2015 if this is allowed. These are class action lawsuits. You are a class member in the Oster case if you would have gotten a notice of action about IHSS cuts in 2009 or 2011. You are a class member in the Xxxxxxxxx case if you get IHSS and live in any of these counties: Alameda. Calaveras. Contra Costa. Fresno. Los Angeles. Madera. Marin. Mariposa.
