Rulemaking about Shared Benefits
The DSHS Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA) is holding a public hearing on proposed rulemaking filed under WSR 20-23-069 on November 16, 2020.
The proposed amendments eliminate shared benefits as a status and as a basis to reduce a client's monthly benefit for in-home personal care, and require a written agreement for a family or household individual provider to be assessed as a source of informal support. "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 being performed.
The Department will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendments on January 5, 2021.
For information about the proposed amendments, contact Angel Sulivan.
