Rulemaking about Shared Benefits
DSHS’ Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA) filed a public notice on September 18, 2020. The notice states that some rules related to ALTSA and DDA clients receiving in-home personal care services may be changed.
The rulemaking may eliminate shared benefit as a part of the assessment for client benefits.
‘Shared benefit’ means a client and their paid caregiver both share in the benefit of a task being performed; or two or more clients in a multi-client household benefit from the same task(s) being performed.
Rulemaking may be needed to simplify the assessment process and reduce confusion around assessment for shared benefit.
