Abstract: The Older Americans Act (OAA) Amendments of 2000 made significant changes in the SCSEP authorizing legislation (OAA Title V). It increases economic self-sufficiency for low-income individuals age 55 and over. The new requirements include a State Senior Service Coordination plan and performance measures. These changes require information collection. There are 56 States and territories participating in the current program and there are an additional 13 national grantees as well. Each year about 100,000 people participate in this program.
