Thanks to the continued support from @DACL_DC and a one-time $110,000 increase last year. LCE’s Legal Hotline stopped problems from spiraling into crises for even more DC older adults. We urge @councilfordc to make this funding permanent so we can keep helping those in need.

LCE’s Senior Medicare Patrol team learned the beneficiary’s insurance information on file with the supplier was outdated. LCE helped the elder through the process of updating their insurance information and the charges stopped.

A DC resident was incorrectly charged $150 a month for a CPAP machine that, as it’s considered Durable Medical Equipment, should have been covered through Medicare.

With respect and remembrance.

Unfortunately, the client’s property management failed to cancel the eviction even after the debt was paid. LCE filed an emergency motion on the morning of the eviction, and the court granted the motion, called the marshal service, and stopped the eviction.

A 67-year-old woman, who was once homeless, faced eviction for owing $3,000 in rent. When the client called LCE, she was scheduled for eviction within a week. The client received financial help from her family and LCE helped her secure a grant to cover the rest.

DC residents who inherit a home with other heirs, may not qualify for tax breaks because they may own less than 50%. Proposed legislation would combine %'s between heirs. Tell your CM you want a hearing for the Senior Tax Aggregation Amendment Act of 2025.

Since 1975, LCE has provided free legal and social work services to DC older adults most in need. If you or someone you know in long-term care needs help, call the LCE Office of the DC Long-Term Care Ombudsman at 202-434-2190.

A DC resident was cleared to leave a rehabilitation facility and wanted to go back to his Assisted Living Residence (ALR). Unfortunately, the ALR refused to take him back. We aggressively and successfully advocated for his right to return to the ALR, where he is, today.

The team’s diligence won back pay for the aides — and in doing so, secured our client’s ability to live independently with help from her trusted caregivers.

LCE stepped in and conducted a detailed audit of the caregivers’ timesheets, payroll, and other budget files to prove that the company had failed to pay the aides for time worked.

For two years, our client fought to keep the home care workers she trusted — but a DC program meant to support her independence refused to pay them.
