The event was a great success as we raised over $11,500 in the Silent Auction & Raffle and Medicaid rate structures for behavioral health and over $17,500 in Sponsorships. developmental disabilities services in Michigan in the past relied heavily on “historical” factors. As a re- sult, the rates favored those regions within the state that were instrumental in assisting with the closure of state-operated centers, particularly those serving people with intellectual and developmental disabili- ties (I/DD). In an effort to resolve the rate payment imbalance, and to simplify the system, the State of Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Ser- vices (MDHHS) in 2010 embarked upon a process of “re-basing” the Medicaid rate structure, effectively reducing rates in those regions that historically bene- fited from higher rates and increasing rates in regions that had been historically low. The impact of this endeavor was most pronounced on the eve of the 2014 fiscal year. Just days before the start of FY14, the MDHHS announced its re-bas- ing strategy for the fiscal year. Up until that time, re- basing efforts were somewhat masked by increases in the overall Medicaid population, an artifact of the economic recession that plagued the state and the nation. However, as the economy improved and as the Medicaid population started to decline, the re- configuration of the Medicaid rates toward a state- wide norm caused immediate and dramatic results. The reality is that those communities that early-on More highlights of the 2018 Dove Awards Presentation & embraced community solutions for persons with I/ Silent Auction are on pages 4-7.

Kendziorski, Esq. The 2018 Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive is now history. Members of The Arc of Oakland collectively helped the Knights of Columbus St. Pope John XXIII Council #5436 in Waterford and the Bishop Gallagher Council #2569 in Royal Oak. These funds will directly benefit children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities within our community. Each council is also required to forward 20% of what is collected locally to the Knights of Columbus state council for distribu- tion to state-wide organizations serving those with special needs. Several other Oakland County councils regularly donate a portion of their Tootsie Roll dollars to The Arc of Oakland County: Milford, West Bloomfield, Farmington, Auburn Hills, Pontiac, Highland, Rochester Hills, and Troy. Thanks, everyone! Palm Sunday weekend occurred near the end of March this year, and the weather was cool, but sunny with temperatures in the 40’s. Twelve good friends and members of The Arc, myself included, volunteered their time! I would like to publicly recognize the following folks for their enthusiastic support and commitment to the cause: Rosemary Rangi, Harry Mamassian, Randy Meono, Jerry Rubin, Jodi Rubin, Jerry Richart, David Loeffler, Jackie Perantoni, Ron Cheli, Pam Cheli, and, Angel Cheli. Thank you and see you all next year! 11 Transition to Adulthood: Key Considerations by Tom Kendziorski and Penny Canada When your son or daughter with special needs, especially one with an intellectual or developmental disability, reaches the age of 18, many legal and financial benefit changes will occur. Here is a handy listing for your consideration: • Apply at the Social Security Administration (“SSA”) for Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”) benefits the month after turning 18, which brings along automatic Medicaid eligibility; o Note: apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (“SSDI”) for a Disabled Adult Child (“DAC”) if one of the parents is: retired over age 62 and receiving SSA pension; or, disabled receiving their own SSDI; or, deceased. o Note: Medicare will come to

A huge accomplishment that had a very simple beginning with one goal in mind, to help children live in a safe and nurturing home – The Detroit Children’s Baptist Home. During the early part of the century, children of all ages stayed in our care for many reasons including abuse, neglect, poverty, and from there, the Judson Center tradition of helping children, adults and families live healthy and successful lives began. During the past nine decades, Judson Center evolved, never forgetting our roots. When there was a need, we have been there and so has our dedicated board, leadership, staff, donors and partners. Our longevity and ability to grow is all due to the generous support we receive, and we are full of gratitude as 2018 was another successful year for Judson Center.

    Serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1967 A N N 2 U A L 0 R E P 1 O R T 9 Serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1967 Dear Members and friends of The Arc: I am pleased to present The Arc of Oakland County’s 2019 Annual Report. This document provides information about our organi- zation’s history, programs, committees, and finances, and it reviews our many activities over the past calendar year. These activities included assisting with understanding guardianship and Power of Attorney documents, participating in Person-Centered Planning meetings, assisting with Individual Educational Plan issues, drafting and updating of wills and trusts, providing expert counsel on all governmental financial benefit programs (e.g., SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, Adult Home Help Services, and, the ABLE Act saving program). Our primary purpose is to provide advocacy for individuals in Oakland County who have intellectual and developmental dis- abilities (I/DD). One of the objectives in our Strategic Plan is to “be the pre-eminent provider of inclusive services and supports for people with Intellectual Impairment and Developmental Disabilities and their families within Oakland County.” Through the hard work of our Executive Director, Tom Kendziorski, and his outstanding staff, I am proud to say that we have achieved that goal. But families of children with special needs in Oakland County still face many obstacles, both during the school years and after the yel- low bus stops coming to their house. We will continue to be there for them. Amazingly, we served 2,500 new persons through our advocacy services in 2019! Our highlights for 2019 included the following: • We broke our record for paid membership, with 1,175 members, including four new lifetime members for a total of 88! We are the largest local chapter of The Arc in Michigan and the 10th largest nationally-affiliated chapter in the country! • We increased the number of individuals for whom we serve as Fiscal Intermediary (FI) to approximately 1,350.
