Elder Financial Exploitation in California: Addressing the Impact on Public Benefits

This webinar took place on Tuesday, October 16, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. PT.

Elder financial exploitation is a growing issue faced by older adults in California, and the effects of abuse impact the physical health, mental well-being, and financial stability of victims. Financial abuse is not limited to the wealthy. Perpetrators of abuse often target income benefits, and exploitation can interfere with older adults’ access to health care and long-term services and supports.

This webinar provides information on the intersection between elder financial abuse and public benefits, such as SSI, Medi-Cal, Medicare, and In-Home Services and Supports. Presenters provide the tools needed for civil legal aid attorneys and aging services providers in California to spot, prevent, and address threats to public benefits that arise from elder financial abuse. Attendees also get a preview of a new resource, Financial Exploitation of Older Adults: A Guide for Civil Legal Aid Attorneys in California.

Closed captioning is available on this webinar.

Presenters:
Amber Christ, Justice in Aging
