DHS requests public comments on amendments to the disability waiver plans

DHS requests public comments on Summer 2020 federal waiver plan amendments (PDF) before we submit the amendments to the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for approval. These amendments apply to the following home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers:

  • · Brain Injury (BI)
  • · Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI)
  • · Community Alternative Care (CAC)
  • · Developmental Disabilities (DD).
  • What these amendments do

    These amendments are Phase One of the Waiver Reimagine project. They:

  • · Change the current service menu to streamline duplicative services across the current service array
  • · Address the intent of the HCBS settings standards more fully
  • · Support community inclusion and expand services to create more options for people.
  • These changes will not result in a decrease to services and supports for people who currently use waiver services.

    Process to submit comments

    Email comments to DSD.PublicComments@state.mn.us no later than 4 p.m. Monday, Aug. 24, 2020.
