Zhuang asks about Cabinet for Older New Yorkers and SCRIE enrollment
Zhuang asks whether the Cabinet for Older New Yorkers works on SCRIE enrollment, and Murray describes two initiatives: PEU outreach and training Adult Protective Services staff to complete applications for the most vulnerable individuals.
Is green enrollment something the cabinet for older New Yorkers are working on?
Sure.
What I'll say is that, so Department of Finance and 311 and Department of Social Services are part of the cabinet.
As you know, there are over 30 agencies.
and we're continuing to expand.
One of the initiatives, there are two initiatives that we did in the last few years.
One was, as the first deputy commissioner shared, the outreach that happened directly through the mayor's...
of public engagement, another member of the cabinet.
And then the second initiative that we worked with are colleagues at APS, the Adult Protective Services, where some of the most vulnerable individuals, Department of Finance has trained APS to make sure that those applications are
as complete as possible and updated information.
So those are two initiatives that we've worked with our cabinet member agencies on.
