BARTLETT, Ill. — For parents who are caregivers of adults with disabilities the question about who will care for them after they’re gone is haunting. And even for those who understand the system and plan ahead, the course is challenging. It’s something Liz Mescher knows all too well.“It should not be this hard,” she says as she puts on display the stacks of forms, denials and appeals she has organized in piles and folders in her kitchen. Mescher says trying to get the benefits her sons need is a never-ending battle. “I mean that's all I do, my counter gets filled with paperwork,” Mescher says.Caring for her two sons is more than a full-time job. “We're on top of them all day long. So, they're really not out of our eyesight,” she explains.Both her sons Eric and Ryan, are in their 20s and have autism.“The younger one has a lot of anxiety and the older one just can't tolerate being touched,” Mescher says. And as they’ve grown older, caring for the men under the same roof has become increasingly difficult.“So the goal is to get placement for Eric to go into housing so he can be happy, and we could probably get a little break,” the mother says.But the wait lists for services like group home placement are long. As of 2017, 707,000 people were on waiting lists in 40 states. That’s an increase of 8% from the previous year.In Illinois, where the Meschers live, the wait list is more than 19,000. Meg Cooch, the executive director of Arc Illinois, says the state is not unique. Cooch’s advocacy organization focuses on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. “There are lawsuits around the country looking at waiting lists and looking at people getting access to community services because it's such a problem,” Cooch says.Resources, funding and housing options for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are dwindling. Professional caregivers are becoming less willing to do the job for what states are willing to pay. “It's not a minimum wage job,” Cooch explains. “And as a result, we are competing with fast food and with Amazon paying an hour to be able to find people to be able to provide these supports.”With one in four cared for by family members who themselves are aging, experts say we are in the midst of a full-blown caregiving crisis.“It's going to be a crisis now and it's going to be even more of a crisis in the future,” Cooch warns.Approximately 39.8 million caregivers provide care to adults with a disability or illness. What’s startling is that more than half of these families say they have no plan in place for when the caregiver passes away. Over the last eight months Mescher has applied to 16 group homes. She hasn’t heard back from any of them. “These kids have to have a place to go," Mescher said. "They have to have a place as adults to go. What are you going to do with them? You know one day we're not going to be here. Where are they going to be? They have to be settled.”For parents like Mescher it’s that uncertainty of what will happen to her children when she’s gone that’s most unsettling. 3109

As the census is about to get underway nationwide, the AARP is warning that scammers could use the census as a prime opportunity to conduct impostor scams intended to steal your personal information. According to AARP data, nearly half of Americans have been targeted by impostor scams in the past, while a majority may be susceptible to phony Census correspondence or telephone calls in the coming months. Data would suggest that people are more susceptible to impostor scams. The US Federal Trade Commission reported a 50% increase in impostor scams in 2019 compared to 2018. "We've learned that scammers are very shrewd and adept at capitalizing on current events," said Kathy Stokes, director, fraud prevention programs, AARP. "The census has been in the news, so most people are expecting to hear soon from the Census Bureau. Scammers will use that to their advantage as they aim to deceive people into sharing sensitive information or handing over money."Of concern is that 70% of Americans surveyed by AARP were incorrect or unsure on whether the US Census would email the public. The first contact from the US Census people will receive is in March via US Mail, with an in-person visit coming in May for those who do not return their census form. Also, 35% were incorrect or unsure on whether the US Census would ask for social security numbers. The US Census will not request personal information such as social security numbers. The AARP is offering tips on its 1484

As guacamole-loving Americans expressed concern on Monday over a possible closure of the US/Mexico border, those who enjoy a less healthy treat or an adult beverage might also need to be concerned.
