Los Angeles, California – May 17, 2010 – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger unveiled plans last Friday to plug California’s budget deficit by slashing billions of dollars worth of funding for services designed to help the state’s poor.
Schwarzenegger’s budget proposals would see spending cuts of 12.4 billion dollars including the elimination of California’s welfare-to-work program and virtually all child care for low income families. However, thousands of California’s elderly currently in long-term care facilities across the State will not be affected.
Attorney Judd Matsunaga of Elder Law Services of California states that there is still a “window of opportunity” for California residents with long-term care needs qualify for Medi-Cal benefits while preserving their assets and protecting the family home.

We had never faced anything quite like this and we had no idea of where to begin. Fortunately for us, a neighbor suggested we call Elder Law Services of California. We made an appointment to meet with Judd Matsunaga, an attorney at Elder Law Services. From the get-go we felt comfortable with his advice and confident in his ability to help us. Judd carefully answered every one of our questions. Throughout the whole interview we were both cared for and cared about. It’s definitely representation that we could count on.
