In 2014, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) made a new rule that more clearly defines what home and community based services (HCBS) mean. States across the nation, including DC, are working to make changes to their service system in order to comply with the new CMS requirements.
The DDA Advisory Council works to advise and make recommendations related to the operations of DDA. We are currently recruiting new members for this group, so if you might be interested in being a member, please come to the next meeting to learn more about how you can contribute!
