Trump Administration Proposes Eliminating Funding for Senior Community Service Employment Program
The Trump administration has proposed cutting funding for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), a federal initiative that provides job training and employment opportunities to low-income individuals aged 55 and older. The program, established in 1965 under the Older Americans Act, is criticized by the budget plan as 'ineffective and duplicative.' SCSEP supports participants with wages at least equal to local minimum wage standards.
