IMPORTANT: States must provide all applicable information following each OAA citation listed below.
Please note that italics indicate emphasis added to highlight specific information to include. The com-
pleted attachment must be included with your State Plan submission.
Section 305(a)(2)(E)
Describe the mechanism(s) for assuring that preference will be given to providing services to older indi-
viduals with greatest economic need and older individuals with greatest social need (with particular at-
tention to low-income older individuals, including low-income minority older individuals, older individuals
with limited English proficiency, and older individuals residing in rural areas) and include proposed

-
DARS mandates all AAAs to contractually comply with the “Assurances Local Plan for Aging Services",
which require AAAs to abide by the assurances and provisions provided in Sections 306 and 307 of the
ОАА.
In Virginia the OAA programs are an important safety net program. Through the area plan process, AAAS
target services to older individuals with greatest economic and social need, with special emphasis on
low-income minority individuals, older individuals with limited English proficiency, older persons residing
in rural or geographically isolated areas, and older individuals at risk for institutional placement.
Section 306(a)(17)
Describe the mechanism(s) for assuring that each Area Plan will include information detailing how the
Area Agency will coordinate activities and develop long-range emergency preparedness plans with local
and State emergency response agencies, relief organizations, local and State governments and other
institutions that have responsibility for disaster relief service delivery.
The local AAAs work with their clients to prepare for a disaster. Many AAAs have provided their clients
that receive congregate and home delivered meals with a limited supply of shelf-stable meals to be used
in the event of a disaster.
The Area Plan Contract for Aging services requires the AAAs to develop a Continuity of Operations Plan
(COOP) detailing how the agency plans to maintain its operations during an emergency or other situation
that would disrupt normal operations. The COOP must be approved by the agency's governing board or
governing body.
For Area Plan submissions, DARS also requires AAAs to include information detailing how the AAA will
coordinate activities, and develop long-range emergency preparedness plans, with local and State emer-
gency response agencies, relief organizations, local and State governments, and any other institutions
that have responsibility for disaster relief service delivery.
Section 307(a)(2)
The plan shall provide that the State agency will
(C) specify a minimum proportion of the funds received by each area agency on aging in the State to
carry out part B that will be expended (in the absence of a waiver under sections 306
(c) or 316) by such area agency on aging to provide each of the categories of services specified in sec-
tion 306(a)(2). (Note: those categories are access, in-home, and legal assistance. Provide specific min-
imum proportion determined for each category of service.)
