Home- and community-based services waiver for the developmentally disabled: sheltered work.

Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid Program provisions. Existing federal law provides for various home- and community-based services waivers. This bill would require a provider of sheltered work under a specified home- and community-based services waiver to demonstrate that the provider is transitioning at least 20 percent of its clients annually into integrated, individualized employment settings, with or without support, in order to get reimbursed under the waiver.
