Community first services and supports reimbursement rates modifications provision, certain consumer-directed community supports budgets increase provision, Minnesota Caregiver Defined Contribution Retirement Fund Trust establishment provision, and appropriation

This bill increases reimbursement rates for certain direct support services in Minnesota. It raises the rate for personal care assistants and Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) providers serving clients needing 10+ hours daily from 107.5% to 112.5% (effective 2026), requiring all additional revenue to fund wages and wage-related costs - not other benefits. It also establishes a new Minnesota Caregiver Defined Contribution Retirement Fund Trust, where the state contributes to retirement plans for union-represented direct support workers. These changes apply to providers working under specific programs and collective bargaining agreements. The bill appropriates funds to implement these rate modifications and retirement trust provisions.
