SB 6609: Medicaid personal care

Concerning the medicaid personal care services program.

Summary

DSHS must provide a personal-care service benefit for adult clients under section 1915(i) of the Social Security Act exclusively utilizing the option that allows for client self-direction of an individualized budget. This differs from the current program where a client's personal care benefit is a set number of hours of care that they can purchase from a qualified provider.
