The bill includes
an annual General Fund appropriation to the Department of Health and Human
Services of $770,908 beginning in fiscal year 2024-25 for a new MaineCare
lifespan waiver, which will offer the services currently offered under the
department's rule Chapter 101: MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapters II and
III, Sections 21 and 29 and also incorporate innovations such as
self-directed services, employment options and transition services, beginning
April 1, 2025.
There is funding in the currently proposed biennial budget for this new
waiver program. If that initiative is part of the final budget passed by the
legislature, this appropriation can be removed and the language can move
forward. |
