We decided to raise the fee in lieu of work hours from $15.00 to
$15.30 per hour effective January 1, 2018 to account for a cost of living increase of 2%. 2% matches the percentage increase determined by the Social Security Administration for 2018. Further, we decided to adjust automatically
the fee in lieu of work hours by the cost of living percentage change as determined by the Social Security Administration for that year. The cost of living adjustment can be revisited annually if a community member requests it.
