A federal judge stopped the state from sending notices to 130,000 elderly and disabled Californians to inform them that their home care supportive services would be reduced — or eliminated entirely — on November 1.
A temporary restraining order — granted the day before the letters were to be dropped in the mail — prohibits the state from sending the notices until a court decides on October 19 whether it should issue a longer preliminary injunction.
The ruling is a win for advocates and unions that filed a federal class-action lawsuit on behalf of California’s home care supportive clients.
