Pima County Board Of Health Public Hearings On Long Term Care Services. Public Input Wanted

 

Do you receive or provide long-term care or home health services in Pima County?  If so, the Pima County Board of Health wants to hear from you!   (please click here for more information)

ACDL secures important legal victory in home and community based services class action lawsuit.

 

Our staff secured another ground breaking legal victory for Medicaid beneficiaries.  The decision in Ball v. Rodgers, from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, confirmed the right of low income elderly and people with disabilities to sue to enforce their rights to receive reliable home and community based services in their home, rather than be forced to go to nursing homes in order to get the care they need. 

 

Our fight to ensure that every Arizonan has a meaningful choice to live in the community is far from over.  Our victory this week is just one step in the process.  The case now returns to the U.S. District Court in Phoenix. 

 

Read the press release on this recent development in Ball v. Rodgers.

 

STATE INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR DONATIONS TO THE WORKING POOR

 

The Arizona Center for Disability Law has been certified by the Arizona Department of Revenue as a Qualifying Charitable Organization for providing assistance to the working poor.  This now allows taxpayers to make a cash donation to our organization prior to December 31, 2007 and be eligible to receive a dollar for dollar Arizona State Tax Credit of up to $200 for single taxpayers or $400 for married taxpayers on their 2007 state income tax.

 

To be eligible for this credit, you must have itemized deductions and deducted the charitable contributions on a prior year’s Arizona tax return (1996 or later.)  The tax credit is in lieu of a deduction on the Arizona return; however, it remains an itemized deduction of the Federal tax return, if the taxpayer is itemizing deductions.

 

Please contact us for more information or visit the Arizona Department of Revenue website:

STATE OF ARIZONA EMPLOYEES CHARITABLE CAMPAIGN (SECC)

 

The Arizona Center for Disability Law will be listed as a participant in the 2007 State Employees Charitable Campaign.  Last year campaign funds are raised by over 45,000 state employees, in support of over 600 charitable agencies.  We appreciate and encourage State of Arizona Employees’ generous contributions to our organization so that we may continue our service to the disabled community in Arizona.
