DEPARTMENT OF AGINGAmend definition for “Greatest Social Need”
The Department of Aging submitted this action with-
out regulatory effect, pursuant to California Code of
Regulations, title 1, section 100, to expand a regulation
that defines “greatest social need” for elderly benefits to
include cultural, social, or geographical isolation based
on “sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender ex-
pression” where these factors restrict the ability of anindividual to perform normal daily tasks or threaten the
capacity of an individual to live independently. The
change to the regulatory definition is being made to
conform the regulation to a change in W elfare and Insti-
tutions Code section 9015 that resulted from A.B. 2719
