Summary of HF 2622 (2025-2026) – Minnesota

Title

Customized living rate phase-in under the community access for disability inclusion and the brain injury home and community-based waivers repealed.

Purpose and intent

HF 2622 proposes a reformulation of payment and funding structures for certain disability-related waivers in Minnesota. Specifically, it aims to implement a “customized living rate phase-in” and repeal certain waivers (the Community Access for Disability Inclusion and the Brain Injury Home and Community-Based Waivers). The bill appears to shift how rates are set and phased in for services that support individuals with disabilities, with an emphasis on improving alignment between funding, service delivery, and participant needs, while repealing existing waivers as part of the transition.

Key provisions and changes (highlights)

  • Customized living rate phase-in: Establishes a phased approach to implementing a customized living rate for eligible individuals. Details likely include:

    • A stepwise timeline for moving to the new rate structure.
    • Criteria or triggers for moving from one phase to the next.
    • A mechanism to adjust rates over time to reflect individualized living supports.

  • Repeal of specific waivers: Repeals the following waivers:

    • Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) waiver
    • Brain Injury Home and Community-Based Waiver (BI-HCBS)
    • The repeal implies replacement or integration into a new rate framework and potentially new program design elements, though the exact replacement structure is not specified in the available information.

  • Rate setting and administration: The bill would define how the customized living rate is determined, who administers it, and how providers and counties or state agencies participate in the new system.可能包括:

    • Methodologies for calculating individualized rates.
    • Reallocation or redistribution of funds previously tied to the repealed waivers.
    • Oversight, auditing, and accountability provisions to ensure proper use of funds.

  • Transition provisions: Provisions to manage the transition from existing waivers to the new rate system, including:

    • Timelines for sunset of the waivers and full implementation of the phase-in.
    • Protecting current recipients during the transition to avoid loss of services.
    • Training or guidance for providers and workforce implications.

Who would be affected

  • Individuals eligible for disability-related waivers (CADI, BI-HCBS): Potentially affected by changes to how their service rates are set and how services are funded.
  • Direct care providers and service organizations: Responsible for delivering customized living supports under the new rate framework; may need to adjust billing, documentation, and care planning to comply with the new rate structure.
  • Healthcare and social services administrators: State and local agencies administering waiver programs, rate setting, and transition processes.
  • Family members and guardians: May experience changes in program structure and service delivery for dependents or family recipients.

Procedural and timeline considerations

  • Introduced and referred: March 20, 2025, to the House committee on Human Services Finance and Policy.
  • Next steps: The bill would proceed through committee hearings, potential amendments, floor debate, and votes in the House, and then onward to the Senate as applicable. The bill’s full timeline would depend on committee action, fiscal notes, and legislative priorities.

Notes
