FAQs Added to the Gateway to the Older Americans Act 2006 Amendments

In June of 2007 AoA announced the online 'Gateway to the Older Americans Act 2006 Amendments.' The Gateway at http://aoa.gov/oaa2006/Main_Site/index.aspx provides an outline summary of new provisions in the Act, statutory text for each new provision (new/revised language only), and technical assistance resource links.

For select provisions, the site now also includes Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), as well as, the opportunity for users to submit their own questions regarding the 2006 Amendments. The full list of current FAQs may be accessed at http://aoa.gov/oaa2006/Main_Site/resources/faqs.aspx.

In addition, links to specific FAQs are included at the bottom of various "provision" (or topic) pages such as Aging and Disability Resource Centers, Evidence-Based Health Promotion Disease Prevention Programs, Self Directed Care and other programmatic questions.

We hope you find the FAQs helpful in implementing long-term care reforms in your respective States, planning and service areas and local communities. AoA will be adding FAQs periodically so we recommend the user check back regularly for updates.
