Below are links to the 2014-2018 Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver for People with Intellectual Disabilities (IDD) as well as proposed amendments and transition plans.
For more information on the HCBS Settings Rule: www.hcbsadvocacy.org
Additionally, in the Spring 2015 issue of the Riot, self-advocacy leaders explain what the rule means for people with disabilities in plain language. Read it here: https://www.hsri.org/news-perspectives/
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has updated their Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) website. If you click the “Statewide Transition Plans” tab, you will see that CMS has added information about their efforts to keep stakeholders apprised of the status of HCBS Statewide Transition Plans (STPs). CMS has also created a “Statewide Transition Plans” page where you will find a chart that has links to the letters that have been sent to states asking for additional information. CMS will continue to provide STP status updates and post communication with states regarding STPs.
The national HCBS Advocacy Coalition worked together to create this new 3-part toolkit that provides advocates with detailed information about the new rule and action steps to fully participate in its implementation. The toolkit contains three documents that can all be found at http://hcbsadvocacy.org/national-resources/ or by clicking on each resource below:
