TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the elder law, in relation to financial exploitation of the

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL:
To protect the elderly from financial exploitation through educational
programs.

Section 1. Amends the Elder Law, Section 202 by adding a new subdivision
16. Provides that the State Office for the Acing shall conduct outreach,
education and training programs for financial institutions.

Section 2. Amends the Elder Law by adding a new section 219-a. Creates
the Financial Exploitation, Outreach, Education and Training Program to
be administered by the New York State Office for the Aging. Describes

JUSTIFICATION:
Elderly Americans are often the victims of financial abuse. This abuse
can come in many different forms, but some common forms of elder
financial abuse are forging an elderly person's signature, coercing an
elderly person into signing a deed, will or power-of-attorney form, or
using an elderly person's property or possessions without their
permission. Perpetrators of elderly financial abuse are often unethical
businessmen, unscrupulous individuals posing as financial advisors, or
even members of an elderly person's family.

The elderly are often an attractive target for a number of reasons.
Elderly Americans control over 70% of the nation's wealth, and many
seniors do not realize the value of their assets. On top of that, many
elderly Americans don't know what action they can take when they are the
victims of a financial abuse.

In New York State, the financial abuse of the elderly is a serious
problem. According to data released in November, 2010 during a statewide
summit on elder abuse in New York convened by Lifespan of Greater
Rochester, a self- reported prevalence study indicated that the highest
rate of mistreatment (41 per 1,000 elders surveyed) occurred for major


financial exploitation (theft of money or property, using items without
permission, impersonation to get access, forcing or misleading to get
items such as money, bank cards, accounts, power of attorney.)

This legislation will ensure that elderly New Yorkers receive the
education and training they need to ensure they are not victims of elder
financial abuse.
