Changes to Temporary Rate Increase July 1, 2024
In 2020, federal American Rescue Plan Act funding was included in the state budget, and a portion of it was applied as a temporary rate increase for contracted providers. The funding affected Community Residential providers, which includes the following programs and services:
- Children: Child Foster Care, Child Group Care, Out-of-Home Services.
- Adults: Group Homes, Group Training Homes, Supported Living, Supported Living - Community Protection, Companion Homes, Alternative Living.
In accordance with the ESSB 5693 (2022 Supplemental Budget Bill) Section 204(1)(u), this temporary rate increase was reduced every six months beginning July 1, 2022 to be fully phased out of the state budget by July 1, 2024.
Beginning July 1, 2024, the temporary rate increase will be discontinued, concluding the final phase of the step-down.
