Individual authorized budget reduction limit on reductions resulting from implementation of waiver reimagine phase II establishment

SF 3757 limits annual budget reductions for Minnesota's Reimagine Phase II waiver program recipients to no more than 10% unless their documented care needs decrease. It requires a cost-of-living adjustment to be included in all budget calculations to account for inflation. The bill specifies that budget changes must be based on the recipient's most recent approved budget and assessed care needs at program implementation. This protects individuals receiving home and community-based services (typically those needing nursing home-level care) from sudden, large budget cuts without a corresponding reduction in their care requirements.
