6 CMS BULLETIN: EMPLOYMENT Three years ago, CMS issued guidance for employment and day services: Informational Bulletin: September 16, 2011 Updated core service definitions Created new services to better reflect best practices Emphasized the importance of employment in the lives of people with disabilities 6
7 CMS BULLETIN: EMPLOYMENT Work is a fundamental life activity for adults with and without disabilities.it provides a sense of purpose, shaping who we are and how we fit into our community 7
8 CMS BULLETIN: EMPLOYMENT Emphasized the critical role of person centered planning in achieving employment outcomes Clarified that pre-vocational services are not an end point, but a time limited service for the purpose of helping someone obtain competitive employment. 8
9 CMS BULLETIN: EMPLOYMENT Created a new service definition for career planning that can be used for youth with disabilities, individuals seeking to transition from prevocational services who want a job that is better or more in line with their interests and talents. Split supported employment into two services: Individual and Small Group Group supported employment is for 2-8 individuals Outcome is individualized competitive, integrated employment 9
10 HCBS SETTINGS RULE Released January 2014 and took effect March Rule was developed over five years with two public comment periods Intended to ensure individuals receiving HCBS services under a Medicaid Waiver have full access to the benefits of community living and the opportunity to receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate. Applies to all settings where HCBS are delivered, not just to residential settings. 10
11 HCBS SETTINGS RULE Person-centered planning: Not part of the transition plan; already in effect Includes individualized goals and preferences related to: relationships, community participation, employment, Income and savings, healthcare and wellness, education and others. 11
12 HCBS SETTINGS RULE Informed Choice Extends beyond simply asking a person if they would like to remain in a segregated setting Agencies must take affirmative steps to provide information about the benefits of integrated settings; Facilitating visits or other experiences in such settings; Offering opportunities to meet with other individuals with disabilities who are living, working and receiving services in integrated settings Identify and addresses any concerns or objections 12
13 HCBS SETTINGS RULE HCBS must have all of the following qualities: Is integrated in and supports access to the greater community Provides opportunities to seek employment and work in competitive integrated settings, engage in community life, and control personal resources Ensures the individual receives services in the community to the same degree of access as individuals not receiving Medicaid HCBS 13
14 HCBS SETTINGS RULE Aligns Medicaid funding with recent Department of Justice actions Complements the Integration Mandate of the ADA 14
15 HCBS SETTINGS RULE What does Integration look like? Community-based recreational, wellness, social, educational, cultural, and athletic activities, including community volunteer activities and training activities. Volunteering Interning Taking a class Learning about careers and interests Promotes interaction with community Not a disability-specific program 15
16 FUNDING RE-ALIGNMENT PROCESS DODD has contracted with two policy and systems change experts, Allan I. Bergman and Lisa Mills, PhD to review current funding system for day and employment services This process dovetails with the CMS Transition Plan Work for HCBS Settings compliance 16
17 FUNDING RE-ALIGNMENT PROCESS Researched multiple states with high performance in integrated employment and day services Report can be found at 17
18 FUNDING RE-ALIGNMENT PROCESS Twelve Community forum meetings held to seek input and feedback More than 700 stakeholders attended Feedback shaped the Guiding Principles for Funding System Redesign 18
