Assumptions Forecast horizon of 2030 For all revenue and expenditures for which we had sufficient data, we completed forecasts Forecast assumptions – revenue models ◦ Assessed impact of aging only ◦ Held constant all other economic and demographic variables ◦ Results stated in growth rates of constant dollars ◦ This is not a budget exercise Forecast assumptions – Medicaid ◦ Augmented aging assumptions with HCPF’s health care inflation projections
We Studied the Impact of Aging on… The Revenue System ◦ Sales Tax ◦ Income Tax ◦ State responsibility for the Senior and Disabled Veteran Property Tax Homestead Exemption State Expenditures ◦ Medicaid ◦ Non health care related expenditures

Beyond Medicaid, Many Other Program Expenditures Directly Driven by Aging Old Age Pension Program - Department of Human Services (DHS) Older Americans Act – DHS State Funding for Senior Services – DHS Colorado Dental Health Care Program for Low Income Seniors – Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) Adult Protective Services – Elder Abuse - DHS
Other Programs for Which Aging Also Has an Impact Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) - Health Facility Oversight and Licensing Prevention Services – CDPHE Department of Corrections -DOC Department of Transportation - CDOT Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) – Division of Housing
Conclusion: Modest Age Related Revenue Impacts Exacerbated with Expenditure Pressure Sales Tax – The growth rate in real sales tax revenue will decline from a high of just over 1.85% in 2018 to just over 1.55% in 2030. Income Tax – The growth rate in real income tax revenue will fall from just under 1.65% in 2016 to just under 1.45% in 2030 Medicaid - Age related expenditures in the Medicaid program will grow from 16.73% today to 21.7% of total expenditures in 2030. Senior Property Tax Exemption – The exemption will grow from a high of 10.7% in FY 2016-17 to 4.7% by FY 2029-30
