Transportation and Home based funding

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

It has recently come to my attention that there is a reimbursement rate

for transportation as part of the list of billable service hours from

the adult Medicaid Waiver. Since we are hiring our own personal

support workers and using ACES$, the way this would work, apparently,

is the employer, my husband, would bill directly to DHS via a specific

form, for reimbursement for all of our driving time taking Noah to his

various activities and work. The benefit to us is that we would be

getting reimbursed for our time but without incurring income tax on the

dollars we are getting back. Is anyone actually doing this?

Thanks to a very well informed Ruth Ann Sikora for the information!

Thanks.

Ellen
