Bill > SF402

This bill modifies disability waiver rates for various human services programs in Minnesota, primarily focusing on adjusting the competitive workforce factor and several component values for calculating payment rates. Specifically, the bill changes the competitive workforce factor from 6.7% to 16.76% effective January 1, 2026 or upon federal approval, and updates various ratios related to staffing, employee expenses, administrative support, and service provision across multiple service categories such as community residential services, family residential services, integrated community supports, adult day services, day support services, prevocational services, and unit-based services with and without programming. The bill provides detailed formulas for calculating payment rates, taking into account factors like staff wages, supervisory costs, employee-related expenses, client programming, and regional cost differences. These changes are designed to more accurately reflect the costs of providing disability services and ensure fair compensation for service providers. Most sections of the bill become effective either immediately after enactment or on January 1, 2026, depending on federal approval.
