Rulemaking expanding eligibility for extended employment program required.

This bill requires the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development to create new rules that allow individuals receiving medical assistance waivers to access the extended employment program, regardless of which specific waiver service they are currently using. The legislation mandates that participation in the program may require individuals to submit a form confirming they are not receiving duplicate services reimbursed by multiple programs simultaneously. Additionally, the bill directs the commissioner to remove an existing rule that currently restricts eligibility for the extended employment program. These changes would expand access to employment services for people on medical assistance waivers while maintaining safeguards against double reimbursement.
