Date: Dec. 13, 2019
To: Lead agency staff and home and community-based waiver service providers who use the Rate Management System (RMS) within the MnCHOICES Support Plan
From: DHS Disability Waiver Rate System policy staff
Purpose: To provide an update about the status of the competitive workforce factor
Contact: DSD.Rates@state.mn.us
At this time, DHS has not received a response from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on whether the application of the competitive workforce factor (CWF) has been approved.
The Dec. 13, 2019, update to the Rate Management System (RMS) within the MnCHOICES Support Plan will not include the CWF. If CMS approves the CWF after the Dec. 13, 2019, update, DHS will update RMS to include it. DHS will provide steps for remediation to lead agencies with MMIS service agreement lines that will need correction to include the CWF.
