Community first services and supports requirements for shared services clarified, wage increases for support workers providing shared services required, and community first services and supports definitions renumbered.

HF 3780 clarifies rules for "shared services," where one support worker provides care to two or three eligible individuals (like seniors or people with disabilities) simultaneously in the same setting. It requires detailed daily documentation of services, including specific time tracking and recipient signatures, and mandates that workers receive training for each recipient they serve. The bill also requires wage increases for support workers providing these shared services and redefines key terms to ensure clarity in program implementation. This directly affects personal care support workers, their employers, and the individuals receiving community-based care services under Minnesota’s medical assistance program.
