More on the cuts to GAU

GAU is supposed to be temporary, Gregoire said. “Much of the reason for it is to see those people who are truly disabled to a program called GAX” she said. “I have reviewed the numbers and … about 32 percent of those who come on are found to be ultimately eligible for the federal program,” she said, after six months. But after that, returns diminish to about 2 percent. So: She’s capping GAU to six months.
