AP A number of human service organizations are asking legislators for additional federal funds that will be coming to the state. Billions of dollars in federal aid will soon be flowing to Pennsylvania as part of the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan, and a number of human service providers in the state are calling for a multi-million one-time payment, as well as additional Medicaid funds, to help them cover increased costs from COVID-19 pandemic. “To put it plainly, the safety net for our health and human services system is nearly disintegrated,” said Richard Edley, who heads the Rehabilitation and Community Providers Association. The group's members provide services in mental health, drug and alcohol addiction, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and other fields.
