Summary
This bill would mandate an increase in the rates paid according to the Instrument for Client and Agency Planning assessment so that by the year 2020 the state achieves funding providers at 100% of the market rate. The state is currently funding providers at 75% of the market rate. The ICAP is an assessment instrument that is used to determine the number of support hours based on each individual’s unique needs, challenges and strengths. These rate increases are necessary in order to keep people with intellectual and developmental disabilities safe and integrated to the maximum extent possible in their local communities.
