DocuSign Envelope ID:7B55B196-3912-4C1A-ADB4-A753058DFEFD XHIBIT A <br /> PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br /> g) Living Wage <br /> Cues this agency pay permanent employees a minimum living wage? (Yes/No) NO <br /> If yes, is this agency an Orange County Living Wage Certified Employer? NO <br /> If no, please explain. We pay well above the state mandated minimum wage but we do not <br /> yet meet Orange County's living wage standard. Our reimbursement rate from Medicaid for <br /> some of our services such as personal care and respite care are not reimbursed at a rate high <br /> enough to pay a living wage at this point. Where other agencies have discontinued, or were <br /> forced to discontinue these lower reimbursable services, The Arc feels morally and <br /> professionally responsible to continue to provide services even though the reimbursement <br /> rate does not allow us to increase staff wages. <br /> Agency Information 1/2612017 5:52:39 PM Page 10 of 26 <br />
