Dear Sir/Madam:
RE:RIN 1205-AB48
I urge the Department of Labor to reconsider its interpretation of SCSEP
regulations.
SCSEP is an aging program governed by the Older Americans Act. It is more
than an
employment program. It gives the older worker a feeling of self-worth and
contribution
to the community. The SCSEP is about Seniors, community service and
employment,
it promotes socialization and community awareness. Community Service is an
explicit
and legitimate purpose of the SCSEP program, not just a way of preparing
individuals
for unsubsidized employment. I urge the Department of Labor to preserve SCSEP
as
an aging program. Without SCSEP, Host Agencies like us will not be able to
provide
the level of service we are providing to the community. I would like to express my
concern about the proposed regulation limiting the amount of time a participant
can
stay on the program. This means that some participants will be terminated
involuntarily
from the program without regards to their progress and individual barriers to
employment.
