Abstract

With the pending 1991 reauthorization of the Older Americans Act, this article compares the due process requirements found in federal government-sponsored entitlement programs and those found in the Older Americans Act of 1965, as amended. Interestingly, the analysis notes a complete lack of individual rights protection in the Older Americans Act, a piece of landmark legislationfor the elderly. The article raises the question of whether there are "rights" protected under the due process interpretations in categorical grant programs where individual interests are denied for nonbudgetary reasons and suggests a role for state units on aging for protecting any such rights.
