This is still a bit long and not as simple as we’d want, but here’s an FAQ our statewide cross-disability coalition developed. Our state has put out NO info
to participants of LTC or to providers/managed care. We developed this because there was absolutely no info out there except a strong workshop message,”if the rule is enforced, we will close tomorrow.”

Best wishes to everyone!

Thanks Heidi!
Question for you (and I may have missed this in the link), has summary information regarding the new HCBS elements been produced in language that is designed
for individuals with disabilities and family members?
Also, for other Council’s – anyone developed anything that you can share that is clear, concise and useful when communicating changes regarding new elements?
Best wishes and happy holidays!
