< Back Migrant Education Program Learn More About Migrant Education https://www.education.pa.gov/K-12/Migrant%20Education/Pages/Overview.aspx PA is the only state in the nation to have state funding for Migrant Education. The program started in 1959, predating the federal law. The law was enacted as a result of the growers' lobbying the general assembly out of their concern for young children's safety while their parents worked. This state funding supports school district reimbursement, summer programming, and childcare services for children 0-5 years of age.

< Back Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities Benefits Trafficking: Human Trafficking of Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities Benefits Trafficking: Human Trafficking of Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities An emerging type of trafficking is targeting overlooked at-risk adults. Benefits Trafficking is the systematic recruitment, harboring, neglect, and financial exploitation of elder and disabled adults who receive government benefits such as Social Security, Veteran's Benefits, Medicaid, and Medicare. Traffickers often pose as kind-hearted individuals offering to provide care for at-risk adults in an in-home setting. Once recruited, at-risk adults are stripped of their government benefits, held against their will, moved from location to location, and denied basic needs such as food, clothing, and adequate shelter. While Benefits Trafficking is a basic civil rights violation issue, it is also a growing public health issue. Victims of Benefits Trafficking are often the forgotten at-risk adults who have fallen through the cracks of various mental health systems, are unhoused, and no longer have a social support system in place. This area of human trafficking is unresearched and its prevalence is largely unknown outside of the few entities working in this space. This paper focuses mainly on raising awareness of Benefits Trafficking and suggestions for future funding and research initiatives. 1Department of Human Services, Division of Aging Services, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crimes Against Disabled and Elderly Task Force, Atlanta, GA, United States 2Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crimes Against Disabled and Elderly Task Force, Atlanta, GA, United States https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fresc.2023.1305926/full
