Rule adoption order (CR-103P)
WSR 19-11-061 on WAC 388-845-1410
Amendments to this rule ensure that prevocational services are no longer available as of March 1, 2019. Prevocational services do not meet federal integration requirements under 42 C.F.R. 441.301(c)(4) for HCBS settings. DDA must enact this mass change to comply with the CMS-approved waiver amendments that eliminate prevocational services on the Basic Plus and Core waivers. DDA also amended this rule to replace “community access” with the service’s new name, “community inclusion.”
Effective: June 15, 2019
