Home Care Workers Sue CDPAP Administrator Over $90M Unpaid Wages

Written By Joshua Levin-Epstein

In April–May 2025, the Legal Aid Society filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Public Partnerships LLC, alleging that the ChineseAmerican Planning Council subcontractor withheld $90 million by paying home care aides only 13 hours of pay for 24-hour shifts—while workers often worked continuously.

Why It Matters:

  • Home caregivers, many immigrants and women of color, face severe financial harm due to systemic wage theft.

  • Raises awareness that state-run CDPAP programs can hide rampant labor violations.

  • Reinforces your message: If you log hours and don’t get paid, you may have a case.
