Subject: DisabilityInfo.gov Medicaid Update: Proposed Rule to Allow Medicaid

Beneficiaries to Control Personal Assistance Services

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting public comment

on how states could allow Medicaid beneficiaries who need help with activities

of daily living to hire, direct, train or fire their own personal care workers.

Beneficiaries could even hire qualified family members who may already be

familiar with the individual's needs to perform personal assistance (not

medical) services. The proposed rule may be downoaded by clicking here.

This information has recently been updated, and can be accessed by visiting this
