AARP Report Details How States Cope with Recession

A new report from the AARP's Public Policy Institute outlines how each state is "weathering the storm" of the recession in terms of state programs for older individuals and adults with physical disabilities.

The report found that although states have used many administrative tools to curb expenditures, the demand for publicly funded services has grown and resources are stretched thin. Thirty-one states reported cutting some non-Medicaid aging and disability services in 2010 and 28 were expecting to cut them in 2011.
