Sen. DiDomenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill to lift the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cap on Kidsâ&#x20AC;? passed by Senate Bill moves to Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk following 37-1 vote OSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On March 28, the Massachusetts Senate reafďŹ rmed its commitment to ending the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;family capâ&#x20AC;? policy by overwhelmingly voting to pass State Senator Sal DiDomenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation to lift the Cap on Kids.

The Cap on Kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also called the family cap â&#x20AC;&#x201C; denies beneďŹ ts to children conceived while, or soon after, a family began receiving beneďŹ ts. As a result of the Cap on Kids, Massachusetts does not provide beneďŹ ts for nearly 9,000 children living in poverty. Their parents struggle to provide even the most basic essentials for their children, causing everyone in the family to suďŹ&#x20AC;er. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud that the Senate has once again taken action to put an end to our Commonwealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ineďŹ&#x20AC;ective and unjust family cap policy,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. DiDomenico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifting the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cap on Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is simply the right thing to do to ensure that families are not denied basic beneďŹ ts simply because of when their children were born. This is a critical policy change that will help thousands of children across the Commonwealth, and I would like to especially thank Senate President Spilka for continuing to make this a Senate priority and addressing this issue at the very beginning of our session.â&#x20AC;?

Massachusettsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cap on Kids

The Senate recently voted 37-1 to approve the bill, which was sponsored by State Sen. Sal DiDomenico, to lift the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cap on Kids.â&#x20AC;?

The bill will now be sent to Gov. Charlie Baker for his signature.

policy was established in 1995 and has been detrimental to families across the state. In his statement on the Senate ďŹ&#x201A;oor, Senator DiDomenico passionately disputed certain erroneous assumptions: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be clear, there was and continues to be no evidence that people have children to receive additional benefits, which is why so many states have already taken action to repeal their family cap policies. For over two decades, the Cap on Kids has done nothing but harm children and make it harder for low-in-

come families to meet their basic needs, such as food, housing and warm clothes.â&#x20AC;?

The new policy passed by the Legislature would start Sept.

1, 2019, and makes the repeal of the family cap retroactive to Jan. 1, 2019. Upon implementation, children who are, or would be, excluded from grant calculations will now be included. The ďŹ scal year 2019 budget already provides funding for this change, which was included in the House and Senate conference committee report.

City mourns loss of Robert “Bob” Cataldo Co-Founder of Cataldo Ambulance Service; Born and raised in Everett

obert Cataldo passed away on March 31, 2019, following a courageous battle with leukemia. Robert “Bob” was born and raised in Everett, Mass., the only son of Sabino and Mary Lou Cataldo. He was one of three children and grew up in a very modest area of Everett along with his sisters, Francine and Donna. Robert was never afraid to share stories of his challenging youth days and remembered fondly “growing up on the line,” a reference to the neighborhood’s close proximity to nearby Chelsea; it was a place where being tough was a necessity. By all accounts, Bob rose

R

to the challenges of the neighborhood and learned many hard life lessons along the way. Although he was quite street-smart, he was not particularly interested in academics. He chose to enroll in the local vocational high school, and there he found his strong mechanical abilities.

In 1958, Bob met Diana Della Piana of Malden; ironically, the two chose to drag race each other down Revere Beach Parkway. As fate would have it, Diana won the race but Bob won Diana’s heart.

Bob always joked that Diana had a big V8 and he had a total “crap box.”

Bob joined the United States Air Force in 1959, and the couple eventually married in 1963. Shortly thereafter, Bob and Diana moved to Murphysboro, Tenn. The couple remained there until Bob was honorably discharged in 1965. Bobs maintained the passion for the U.S. Armed Services and garnered the deepest respect for those who served in defense of the Country.

In 1968 the couple gave birth to their only son, Dennis, whom they named after Diana’s brother, Dennis, who had passed away in 1966 at the age of 22.

In 1977, Bob started a new chap-

ter in his life, and he did so with his lifelong partner Diana. The two opened the doors of Somerville Ambulance Service in August of that year. The company proved

very challenging but was well run under their close stewardship and desire to succeed. For them, providing quality patient care and exceptional service was always the key

measure of success. The company continued to grow, and eventually the name was changed to Cat-

ust in time for opening day for Everett Little League on Saturday, April 27, the City of Everett recently completed the construction of a new concession stand at Sacramone Park.

The new concession stand was part of a $3.5 million renovation of the Village neighborhood park that included two new playing ďŹ elds, a basketball court, a tot-lot, a splash pad and a bocce court.

Mayor Carlo DeMaria has made quality of life for Everett residents a cornerstone for his administration by renovating or reconstructing a majority of parks in the city and expanding green spaces, such as the harbor walk, Rivergreen Park and the Malden River Walk.

tion project has received the support and praise of other local ofďŹ cials and youth organizations.

The DeMaria administration has been able to fund robust renovation projects through cost management strategies. If contracted out, the project would have cost the city nearly $100,000 more.

Once the budget had been established, Mayor DeMaria and the Facilities Maintenance Department continually analyzed the function of materials, systems, processes and building equipment for the purpose of achieving required functions at the lowest total cost.

As part of a long-term budgetary strategy, Mayor DeMaria restructured the Facilities Maintenance Department in 2016, which has saved the city government thousands of dollars by completing projects in-house.

The city has completed the renovation of the Recreation Center, the temporary Hancock Fire Station, the Connolly Center and the gazebo at Glenwood Cemetery as well as other projects throughout the city. Mayor DeMaria has lowered expenses by approaching cost savings as a core element at the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start and effectively implementing it into his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture.

DiDomenico honored by American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network B

OSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network recently honored State Senator Sal DiDomenico and other members of the Massachusetts Legislature for their eďŹ&#x20AC;ort last session to pass a comprehensive youth tobacco prevention law. Sen. DiDomenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill, which banned the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies, was included as a key component of the omnibus bill that increased the legal age of tobacco use from 18 to 21. The omnibus was a collaborative eďŹ&#x20AC;ort by a number of legislators to reduce youth tobacco use in the Commonwealth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you to the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network for honoring me and my fellow Senate and House colleagues for our work on Massachusettsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new comprehensive youth tobacco prevention law,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. DiDomenico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an honor to receive this Advocacy Award, and I would like to thank the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network for their tireless advocacy on this critical issue for our youth and residents throughout the Commonwealth.

We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have passed this legislation without the assistance of so many passionate advocates making sure that this issue was addressed in a meaningful way.â&#x20AC;?

Tobacco use and nicotine addiction remains the leading cause of preventable illness and premature death in Massachusetts, responsible for more than $4 billion in annual health-care costs to the Commonwealth.

Youths are particularly suscep-

tible to nicotine addiction, with 9 in 10 cigarette smokers starting using before age 18. While youth smoking has declined considerably in the last two decades, youth use of other addictive tobacco products, like e-cigarettes, is increasing sharply.

The comprehensive legislation passed last session was cited as a major public health achievement to reduce youth access to tobacco and nicotine products.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, April 5, 2019

EPS music education program receives national recognition T

he Everett Public Schools (EPS) has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from the NAMM Foundation (of the National Association of Music Merchants) for its outstanding commitment to music education. Now in its 20th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts

that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students.

To qualify for the Best Communities designation, Everett answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities and support for the music programs. Responses were

verified with school officials and reviewed by the Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.

“We have a long and proud tradition of providing exceptional musical opportunities for our students, both in the classroom and through extracurricular pursuits,” said Interim EPS Superintendent Janice Gauthier. “This award is a re-

flection of the hard work and dedication that our students and teachers demonstrate each and every school year.”

This award recognizes that Everett is leading the way with learning opportunities as outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The legislation guides implementation in the states and replaces the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which was often criticized for an overemphasis on testing while leaving behind subjects like music. ESSA recommends music and the arts as important elements of a well-rounded education for all children.

Research into music education continues to demonstrate educational/cognitive and social skill benefits for children who make music. After two years of music education, research has found, participants

showed more substantial improvements in how the brain processes speech and reading scores than in their less-involved peers and that students who are involved in music are not only more likely to graduate high school, but also to attend college. Reportedly, everyday listening skills are stronger in musically trained children than in those without music training. Significantly, listening skills are closely tied to the ability to perceive speech in a noisy background, pay attention and keep sounds in memory. Reportedly, later in life, individuals who took music lessons as children show stronger neural processing of sound; young adults – and even older adults who have not played an instru-

Everett Bank helps EHS students race to the top Will sponsor journey to STEM team’s trip to Ten80 Texas Championships hanks to a generous donation from Everett Bank, Everett High School’s STEM racing team will travel to Texas A&M University later this month to compete in Ten80 Education’s Student Racing Challenge (SRC) National Finals.

“Make no mistake about it, Everett Bank is making this trip a reality,” said Interim Superintendent of Schools Janice Gauthier.

“Our STEM students were devastated when they found out that the district was unable to pay for a journey that far from home. But Everett Bank turned tears of sorrow into tears of joy.”

The announcement was made official last week, when Everett Bank executives Marjorie White, Richard O’Neil and Erica Barney visited the STEM students and advisor Anna Seiders to learn about the breadth and depth of SRC competitions.

“No one is more appreciative of Everett Bank’s sponsorship than the students themselves,” said EHS Principal Erick Naumann. “Their happiness was obvious in their smiles as

they talked to the Everett Bank leadership about the Ten80 racing competition.”

The SRC is the flagship series in the National STEM League (NSL).

Through it, students own a motorsports business featuring a remote-controlled car. The ultimate goal is to engineer performance: personal performance, team performance and race performance. Teams with the fastest, most stable and fuel-effi-

cient car will win races. However, race points are only one-third of a team’s total. Like professional race teams, SRC teams must also have a strong research and development focus (Data-Driven Design and MODS) and a marketing strategy and must work toward becoming leaders in their communities.

Everett’s team is called “Crimson Bolt,” and in recent years the team has done very well in competitive settings, both regionally and nationally.

The National Finals will be held on Saturday and Sunday, April 27-28, at Texas A&M, which is located north of Houston.

The Tide was 12-8 last year during the regular season, 13-9 overall. They defeated Newton South, 11-10, in a Division 1 North preliminary round game before losing to Concord-Carlisle, 9-5, in the ďŹ rst round.

Schiavo is looking to replace three starters who graduated last June. But she does have six back with varsity experience, including senior captain Kaylee Nearen (four-year varsity starter), juniors Ariana Garay (pitcher, ďŹ rst base), Maddy Duraes (shortstop) and Veronica Bento (second base, outďŹ eld) and sophomores Ashley Fitzgerald (out-

ďŹ eld, catcher) and Maddy Smith (third base).

Schiavo will carry 15 on the varsity, 13 on the JV and 11 on the freshman squad this year.

The veteran Everett coach has mixed feelings about the pending exodus from the Northeastern Conference (NEC) in order to reestablish the Greater Boston League (GBL) with the likes of Somerville, Medford, Malden and Revere starting in the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is sad that we are not going to be a part of the NEC next year,â&#x20AC;? said Schiavo.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the coaches were very welcoming, and the

competition allowed us to get ready for the tournament. It was less stressful trying to ďŹ nd nonleague games, because we had so many teams to play against.â&#x20AC;?

Schiavo expects to dominate with depth in the pitching department this spring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think having two pitchers this year will deďŹ nitely beneďŹ t us, especially when we play three to four games in a week. The girls have also been working on their offense, and as a result I think this year we will have a strong lineup.â&#x20AC;?

Nearen and Garay will provide that depth in the circle. When

verett High School baseball coach Joe Lento had a highly inexperienced team last year, as a result of losing a bunch of seniors who played and contributed quite a bit to the varsity throughout the previous three springs.

The Tide won only four games in 2018, but were still highly competitive against some of the top echelon teams in the Northeastern Conference, which certainly gained them valuable experience going forward.

Everett did graduate three off of last year’s team, including captain/pitcher Jason Hennessey, who was a high-level contributor, according to Lento. But there are still plenty of veteran varsity play-

E

ers returning to this year’s roster.

“We have a ton of returning guys in key spots who gained valuable varsity experience last season,” said Lento. “We are a strong defensive team who will rely on being smart and playing fundamental baseball. Our weakness will be pitching depth and experience, which becomes challenging during three-game weeks.”

Lento offered his thoughts on this being the final season in the Northeastern Conference before Everett joins Somerville, Medford, Malden and Revere in the fall in order to reestablish the Greater Boston League. “As far as being in the NEC, the league has been welcoming, and it will be sad to go,” he said. “But we will be in a new GBL with more geographic and demographic counterparts.

Whoever is on the schedule, we will go out and play Everett baseball and let the chips fall where they may.”

Lento continued to emphasize that they will be a smart, disciplined team in the field during the next three months. “Our pitching depth and experience will be trying, but we will do our best to coach them up and prepare them the right way,”he add-

ed. “Our hitting will also be a relative strength, returning seven from last year’s lineup.”

With the regular season still a week away, Lento will let the scrimmages scheduled for this week determine the starting lineup. “I cannot give a definitive answer as to who will play where,” he said. “We are starting scrimmages [Monday, April 1, at Malden Catholic], and some things will start to reveal themselves, and we will go from there to put the best possible lineup we can out there in order to give ourselves the best chance to win baseball games.”

Lento doesn’t foresee any one team in the NEC that will be more of a challenge than another. “Every team provides a challenge on our schedule,”he said.“Baseball is a mental game, and the team that can deal and do enough of the little things correctly will put themselves in the best position to win.”

The Tide will open up the regular season on Monday, April 8, against host Winchester, starting at 4 p.m. They will then play host to Revere in the home opener at Glendale Park on Monday, Patriots Day (April 15), starting at 10 a.m.

School officials to seek legal opinion before paying former supt. vacation balance

By Christopher Roberson fter making a $200,000 payout to former Superintendent of Schools Frederick Foresteire, the School Committee recently voted to consult Attorney Robert Galvin before writing a check for the remaining $250,000 vacation payout.

“We got hit with this like a Mike Tyson right cross,” said Chairperson Thomas Abruzzese during the committee’s April 1 meeting, adding that he had been “completely unaware” of Foresteire’s unused vacation time. “This is something that never should’ve

A

happened and it’s happened.”

Abruzzese also said that most employers in the private sector do not allow their employees to use vacation time from prior years. “I don’t know anybody who is allowed to accrue vacation time,” he said. “Anything that delays this I’m all for; this is not some kind of a severance package.”

Ward 5 Member Millie Cardello said she could not find anything in Foresteire’s contract that would prevent him from receiving the balance of the money.

Ward 3 Member Frank Parker said the potential payout would not affect staffing or class sizes.

However, he still agreed that the committee needs to settle the matter. “Vacation time is a liability; we have to resolve this one way or another,” he said.

Foresteire retired on Dec. 18, 2018 as superintendent of schools after serving in the Everett School System as the superintendent and an educator for more than 50 years.

ELL and Career Tech Updates In other news, Anne Auger, director of English Language Learners (ELL), said the percentage of ELL students has grown from 17 percent in 2016-2017 to 26 per-

cent for the current school year.

She said the majority of Everett’s ELL students come from Brazil and El Salvador speaking Spanish, Portuguese and Haitian Creole.

“Many of them have left family and life as they knew it,” said Auger.

She also mentioned the

co-teaching model, which is a new addition to the district’s ELL program designed for students through sixth grade. By having co-teaching, ELL students are no longer taken out of class for language services.

City ensures healthy living conditions through habitability checks o you know someone who can’t seem to detach themselves from many personal or household items? Hoarding has become a serious issue in the United States. A 2017 survey highlighted that the average American hoards 23 items that they have no use for.

The City of Everett’s Inspectional Services, Health, and Fire Departments, under the guidance of Mayor Carlo DeMaria, are ensuring that houses throughout the community are free of hoarding and are decent, safe, sanitary and in good repair as well as safe for first responders.

In many cases, hoarding can become a serious danger not only for hoarders, but also their neighbors and first responders. Homes that experience hoarding can become hazardous and cause for poor sanitary conditions as well as physical harm.

There are different degrees of clutter: from struggles with chronic disorganization and excessive clutter to struggles with hoarding behavior and Hoarding Disorder (and any level of clutter in-between).

And the City of Everett is here to help. City departments have been diligent in its dealing with cases throughout the city and are assisting residents in maintaining a clean and safe living environment. The City teams provide the tools and resources in order to sustain a nurturing setting and contribute to a healthy life for both adults and children.

The vast majority of hoarding cases that are seeking assistance or being reported in Everett range from preventative measures to crisis management and rectification planning, which arise from inspectional issues.

The city recognizes that hoarding disorders trigger difficulties with discarding or parting with possessions. Nevertheless, the city’s resident-centered plan addresses all aspects of the hoarding case, establishing objective and reasonable goals and time frames, and the monitoring of progress.

If you know someone that might need assistance, please call the city’s Inspectional Services Department at 617-394-2220.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, April 5, 2019

Suffolk Downs to conduct final season of live racing ecently Suffolk Downs announced that it will run six live dates in 2019 – after the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) approved the track’s schedule and its corresponding request for purse funding of $3.8 million for those dates from the state’s Racehorse Development Fund. The three festival weekends are scheduled for May 1819, June 8-9 and June 29-30 and will be the last days of thoroughbred racing held at the historic East Boston facility. In 2017, Sterling Suffolk Racecourse (SSR), the company that operates racing and simulcasting at Suffolk Downs, sold the property in East Boston and Revere to The HYM Investment Group, a Boston-based real estate developer.

In conjunction with the New England Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (NEHBPA) and the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Asso-

R

ciation (MTBA), SSR announced plans last year to refurbish and return live racing to the Great Barrington Fairgrounds in Great Barrington, Mass., and to continue simulcasting operations in Boston. The track operator has renewed its option on the 55acre Great Barrington property and is pursuing legislation in the current session in Massachusetts that would facilitate its proposal.

At Suffolk Downs, the $100,000 James B. Moseley Stakes at five furlongs on the turf for fillies and mares will highlight the racing program of June 29. The average daily purse distribution for each festival weekend, including participation incentives to encourage horsemen to ship in from other circuits, will be in excess of $600,000 per day.

“We are looking forward to celebrating the rich tradition of Suffolk Downs with racing fans for one final season here as we pur-

sue the plan to preserve thoroughbred racing and its associated agribusiness and economic benefits in the Commonwealth by restoring the racing facility at Great Barrington,” said SSR Chief Operating Officer Chip Tuttle.

“We appreciate the support of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission in granting our dates and purse funding requests.”

“We appreciate Sterling Suffolk’s addition of and the MGC’s approval of extra days and purse funding for this season and Sterling Suffolk’s dedication to preserving live thoroughbred racing in the Commonwealth and the livelihoods of our members, the small businesses and family farms that depend on it,”said NEHBPA President Anthony Spadea.

In order to help offset shipping and travel costs for the festival weekends, Suffolk Downs will offer an incentive program similar to those in the last sever-

al years. In addition to customary purse distribution, owners will receive an additional $500 for horses finishing first through fifth (on top of purse money) while owners of horses finishing sixth through last will receive a payment of $1,200 for races with a purse up to $30,000 and $1,500 for races with a purse greater than $30,000. Trainers will receive participation awards of $400 per starter.

For 2019, first-level allowance/ optional claiming races will offer purses of $55,000; maiden special weight races will offer purses of $50,000; $12,500 claiming races will carry a purse of $32,500; $8,000 claiming races will be run for $27,500; and bottom level claiming races will now carry a purse of $20,000. Over the course of each weekend, there will be stakes races restricted to either horses foaled in Massachusetts or sired by a Massachu-

setts-based stallion. Each offers a purse of $50,000 and is a showcase for the Massachusetts Thoroughbred breeding industry.

In addition to live racing, the track will be hosting a food truck festival each weekend featuring food trucks from a variety of local vendors, craft beer, live music and family fun activities.

About Suffolk Downs Built by 3,000 workers in just 62 days when Massachusetts authorized pari-mutuel wagering in 1935, the historic track has been a showcase for some of the most famous names in Thoroughbred racing history, including Seabiscuit, Whirlaway, John Henry, Cigar and Skip Away. In 2018, the track conducted four weekends of live racing with an average daily purse in excess of $500,000, including incentives. For more information, visit www.suffolkdowns.com.

State begins work on Tobin Bridge, Chelsea Curves he Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) recently began work on the Tobin Bridge/Chelsea Curves Rehabilitation Project, which will have significant traffic impacts, including 24/7 lane closures.

The first lane closure was implemented on April 1 and closed the right lane on the Tobin Bridge northbound. Drivers are reminded to position themselves to use

T

the middle and left lanes as soon as they can safely do so. Traffic modeling conducted for this project has shown that allowing drivers in the right lane to merge will create a smoother overall traffic flow. MassDOT requests that all motorists exercise courtesy and caution when traversing the work zone. By early May, lane closures will be implemented on the Chelsea Curves section of Route 1 north and southbound.

Combined, the Tobin Bridge and Chelsea Curves carry more than 63,000 drivers on Route 1 through Chelsea and over the Mystic River into Boston. Though they are safe to drive on, both are in critical need of repair. MassDOT is carrying out work along both sections of Route 1 at the same time so that these projects will be completed in 2020, and without the need for weight restrictions and postings.

Completion of this necessary project will ensure that the elevated section of Route 1 can continue to carry passenger and freight traffic safely and efficiently and eliminate 15 percent of the structurally deficient bridge deck in Massachusetts, but construction of this nature has inevitable traffic impacts.

MassDOT encourages you to leave more time for your trip, exercise caution while travers-

ing the work zone, and if possible, divert to an alternate route or mode of travel in and out of downtown Boston.

To be added to the project email list for updates, please visit the project website at https:// www.mass.gov/tobin-bridgechelsea-curves-rehabilitation-project or contact Donny Dailey of MassDOT Government & Public Affairs at Tobin-Chelsea@dot. state.ma.us.

Hydrant ďŹ&#x201A;ushing might result in temporary discoloration of the water caused by small particles that dislodge during the ďŹ&#x201A;ushing, as well as a temporary reduction in pressure.

Discolored water will be temporary and is not harmful; however, the discolored water might stain your laundry, especially white materials. Therefore, please avoid doing laundry during the noted ďŹ&#x201A;ushing period

T

Prior to washing clothes, including during times after the hours stated in this notice, please check the cold water for possible discoloration. If water is discolored, let the cold water run for a few minutes until water becomes clear. If it does not clear at that time, try again later.

Unfortunately, the City of Everett cannot fully guarantee the safety of doing laundry and/or the possibility of discoloration even during the evenings and other times of the day as the water system has been disturbed.

Therefore, please check your water carefully prior to doing laundry and inspect the laundry before drying it.

How SSI Can Help Low-Income Seniors and the Disabled Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the Supplemental Security Income program and what are the eligibility requirements? My father is very low-income, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wondering if this is something he may qualify for.

Searching Daughter Dear Searching, Supplemental Security Income (or SSI) is a program administered by the Social Security Administration that provides monthly cash beneďŹ ts to people that are disabled or over 65 based on ďŹ nancial need. Currently, more than 8 million people are receiving SSI beneďŹ ts. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know.

Eligibility Requirements To qualify for SSI your dad must be either age 65 or older, blind or disabled, and must be a U.S. citizen or lawful resident.

He must also have limited assets and income.

His assets must be less than $2,000 or $3,000 for couples.

This includes cash, bank accounts, other personal property, and anything else that could potentially be converted to cash.

His home, household goods and one vehicle, along with life insurance policies and burial funds valued under $1,500; do not count towards countable assets.

The income limit to qualify for SSI, however, is much more complicated. Countable income includes wages or any other kind of money your dad earned from working, plus money he gets from other sources like unemployment, Social Security retirement, or gifts from friends, but also, free food or shelter.

In 2019, the SSI allowable income limit is $771 a month for an individual or $1,157 a month for a couple. So, if your dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countable income is over the SSI allowable limit (this is based on a complex set of rules and calculations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see SSA.gov/ssi/ text-income-ussi.htm) he would not qualify. But if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under it, he would qualify for some beneďŹ ts depending on his countable income.

To help you determine if your dad is eligible for SSI, help him take the Social Security Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beneďŹ ts screening test at SSAbest.beneďŹ ts.gov. This online questionnaire takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and screens for a variety of beneďŹ ts, not just SSI. You should also know that most states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except Arizona, Mississippi, North Dakota and West Virginia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; supplement the federal SSI payment with payments of their own. In some of the states that pay a supplement, your dad may qualify for the state payment even if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the federal SSI eligibility criteria.

How to Apply If you think that your dad is eligible for SSI, call 800-772-1213 and set up an appointment to apply at his local Social Security oďŹ&#x192;ce.

To help make the application process go quickly and smoothly, your dad should bring his Social Security number; birth certiďŹ cate or other proof of age; information about the home where he lives, such as his mortgage, or lease and the landlordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name; payroll slips, bank books, insurance policies, burial fund records and other information about his income and the things he owns; his proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status; and if he is applying for SSI because he is disabled or blind, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals and clinics that have information related to his condition.

For more information visit SSA.gov/ssi or call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and ask them to mail you a copy of publication 11000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supplemental Security Income (SSI).â&#x20AC;?You can also read it online at SSA.gov/pubs/EN-05-11000.pdf.

Other Assistance Programs Depending on your dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income, needs and location there are other ďŹ nancial assistance programs that may be able to help him like Medicaid, prescription drug assistance, food stamps and energy assistance. To ďŹ nd out what he may be eligible for go to BeneďŹ tsCheckUp.org. This is a free, conďŹ dential Web tool that contains more than 2,500 programs.

THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, April 5, 2019 THE HOUSE AND SENATE. Beacon Hill Roll Call records local legislators’ votes on roll calls from the week March 25-29. $8 MILLION FOR FAMILY PLANNING PROVIDERS (H3638) House 140-14, Senate 335, approved and sent to Gov. Charlie Baker a bill to provide up to $8 million for family planning providers. The Trump administration recently announced it would no longer direct federal funds which support family planning services for low-income residents, toward any clinic that provides, refers or offers counseling on abortions. The $8 million would be used to replace whatever funding Massachusetts clinics lose under the new Trump rule which also faces a legal challenge from 21 states, including Massachusetts, but will go into effect in May if it is not blocked in court.

“Once again, where Washington falls short, we in the commonwealth are ready and willing to step up and fill the needed gap,” said House Ways and Means Committee Chair Aaron Michlewitz (D-Boston). “We cannot allow people’s health care to be put at risk because of the narrow-minded politics of the Trump administration. Today, we are taking the first step to put a stop to this.”

Michlewitz noted that an estimated 75,000 Massachusetts residents, most of whom earn less than $30,000 a year, would be impacted by the cut in federal funding.

“This action by the House is nothing but a giveaway of our tax dollars to the abortion business,” said Chanel Prunier, executive director of the Renew Massachusetts Coalition which opposes the funding. “The CEO of Planned Parenthood of Massachusetts makes over $250,000 annually, and they spend millions each year on political advocacy and campaign efforts.

So why are our taxes making up for their funding shortfall?”

(A “Yes” vote is for the $8 million. A “No” vote is against it.)

Rep. Joseph McGonagle Yes Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes BAN CONVERSION THERAPY FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 (S 2187) Senate 34-0, approved a bill that would prohibit psychiatrists, psychologists and other health care providers from attempting to change the sexual orienta-

Beacon Hill Roll Call

By Bob Katzen tion, gender identity or gender expression of anyone under 18.

Conversion therapy exposes the person to a stimulus while simultaneously subjecting him or her to some form of discomfort.

The therapy is primarily used to try to convert gays and lesbians to be straight. The House has approved its own version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration.

Both branches approved a similar bill last year but it never made it to Gov. Baker’s desk. “If a conversion therapy bill gets to my desk and we don’t see any other issues with it, it’s something we’d be inclined to support,” Baker said recently.

Mental health experts and LGBTQ groups charge that the practice is scientifically unproven and unsound and can trigger depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in these youngsters subjected to it.

“We have a responsibility to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all young people,” said Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), the Senate sponsor of the bill. “Seeking to force a child to change one’s identity or orientation at such a vulnerable point in their young lives inflicts significant harm and is no less than child abuse.”

Shortly after the vote, the Human Rights Campaign tweeted, “Victory: the Massachusetts Senate just voted to protect #LGBTQ youth from the dangerous and debunked practice of so-called ‘conversion therapy.’”

“This [is] an appalling assault on parental rights in the commonwealth,” said the president of the Massachusetts Family Institute Andrew Beckwith who opposes the ban. “[Some] legislators apparently believe that parents should not be able to get gender-confused children any treatment, even counseling, that might help them avoid cross-sex hormone injections, sterility or ‘transition’ surgery.”

Five senators voted “present”

rather than for or against the bill.

“We want to be clear that we do not support conversion therapy or any other type of coercive therapy that purports to change a person’s sexuality or gender identity,” said Sen. Vinny deMacedo (R-Plymouth). “If there were evidence of these practices taking place in Massachusetts, we would wholeheartedly support banning them. However, we have serious concerns about the way this legislation infringes on the constitutional rights of licensed professionals to provide mental health counseling and talk therapy using the knowledge, judgment and expertise that they have acquired through years of study and practice. The vague wording of the legislation provides too much room for interpretation in an area that requires caution and precision from government intervention.

By voting ‘present’ we hoped to register our concerns while making it clear that these types of coercive therapies have no place in the commonwealth.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the ban).

Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THERAPY BAN (S 2187) Senate 6-32, rejected a proposal asking the Supreme Judicial Court to advise the Senate on whether the therapy ban is constitutional. The court would be asked if the bill violates the provisions of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by violating the right of free speech of professional counselors; the constitutional rights of parents; or the constitutional or statutory rights of privacy or patient confidentiality.

Supporters of asking the court about the constitutionality of the therapy ban said they support the conversion therapy ban but are concerned that the ban is likely to be challenged. They believe the Senate should get an opinion before the challenge in order to ensure the bill doesn’t get delayed.

“We are confident that the

Page 19

pending bill is constitutional,” said Sen. Joan Lovely (D-Salem) who opposed getting the court’s opinion. “It relies on well-established authority of the state to regulate professional conduct.”

(A “Yes” vote is for getting a court opinion. A “No” vote is against getting it).

Sen. Sal DiDomenico No REMOVE CAP ON WELFARE BENEFITS FOR KIDS (S 2186) Senate 37-1, approved a bill that repeals the current law that denies an additional $100 per month in welfare benefits to children conceived while—or soon after—the family began receiving welfare benefits or, if they had received family welfare benefits in the past. The law was adopted in 1995 as part of a welfare reform package that was aimed at discouraging families already receiving public support from having more children. The House has approved its own version of the bill and the Senate version now goes to the House for consideration.

Supporters of the repeal said that there are some 8,700 children who currently fall under the cap in the Bay State. These families are barred from receiving an additional $100 a month to help support that child. They said there are no facts to back up the charge that families are having more children in order to get the additional $100.

“I have heard countless personal accounts from many families who are hurt by this cap on kids,” said Sen. Sal DiDomenico (DEverett), the Senate sponsor of the proposal. “Because their benefits are so low, parents with ‘capped’ children struggle to meet their families’ basic needs. For instance, they often can’t pay for enough diapers to keep their child clean, dry and healthy. And they are forced to make painful choices about which necessities they can afford. We know that it’s time to take action to repeal this outdat-

ed, ineffective and unjust policy, and show that we value all children equally, regardless of the circumstances of their birth."

“I think it's unfair to ask the constituents back home to pay for a benefit for others that they don’t get themselves,” said Sen. Don Humason (R-Westfield), the only opponent of the bill.

He said the Legislature should have a big heart and take care of people but noted he also needs to listen to his constituents who tell him they are having a difficult time making ends meet and are limiting the number of children they have. He said his constituents tell him they are not eligible for any welfare benefits but are forced to pay these benefits for others who decide to have more children.

(A “Yes” vote is for removing the cap. A “No” vote is against removing it).

Sen. Sal DiDomenico Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week.

Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature's job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts.

Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session.

During the week of March 25-29, the House met for a total of eight hours and 54 minutes while the Senate met for a total of four hours and 33 minutes.

Mon., March 25 House 11:05 a.m. to 1:44 p.m.

Tues., March 26 No House session
