Bill > SF1810

This bill directs the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services to submit proposed amendments to home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver plans by December 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill seeks to expand the definition of "direct care staff services" to include individualized home supports without training, respite, and night supervision for waiver participants who are either temporarily traveling out of state or attending an out-of-state postsecondary school. Home and community-based services waivers are Medicaid programs that provide flexibility for states to offer services and supports to help people with disabilities live in community settings rather than institutional environments. The proposed amendments aim to clarify and potentially broaden the geographical scope of disability waiver services, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can receive necessary support even when they are outside of Minnesota.
