CMS is approving this time-limited state plan amendment to respond to the COVID-19 national emergency.  The purpose of this amendment is to modify the definition of home-based habilitation to include health and safety supports and services required to maintain a member’s involvement in online education or e-learning, specifically for members ages 17-21 residing outside of the family home. In addition, the SPA seeks approval for retainer payments made in April 2020 to providers of 1915(i) state plan home and community based (HCBS) habilitation services including day habilitation, prevocational services, and supported employment.
