Hanif asks about SCRIE/DRIE renewal rates and lapses

And then just in terms of the certification and renewal process, because I've been seeing, even just with the constituent casework coming into our district, some of the questions I'm going to be bringing up are

directly related to that, and others are more general.

But in terms of the certification renewal process,

How does DOF determine the screen dream multi-year benefit period?

I'm not sure screen injury is an annual benefit, and so I'm not sure I'm following the question.

So how do we ask this in a different way?

I'm trying to think of what the better way to ask this is.

Okay.

Okay.

So let me go into the rates, actually, and I'll come back to that one.

Sure.

So what are the screen injury renewal rates and how many benefits lapsed for non-renewals between 2023 and 2025?

And then how many were later restored?

So the renewal rate has been 95% over the past three years.

We're able to maintain this high rate with the help of two letter reminders and four email reminders to participants in the program.

Okay.

Sorry, I just wanted to also note we've been joined by Councilmember Aviles.
