Bill > HF2004

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 aims to expand the definition of "direct care staff services" to include individualized home supports without training, respite, and night supervision. These services would be authorized for waiver participants who are either temporarily traveling out of state or attending an out-of-state postsecondary school. The proposed changes seek to provide more flexibility for individuals with disabilities who receive waiver services, allowing them to access essential support services when they are outside of Minnesota, such as during travel or while pursuing higher education. The bill is designed to ensure continuity of care and support for waiver participants, recognizing that their need for assistance does not change simply because they are located in a different state.
