WACs 388-845-0603, 388-845-0610 & 388-845-2110 WAC 388-845-0603, Who is eligible to receive community inclusion services?, 388-845-0610, Are there limits to community inclusion services you may receive? and 388-845-2110, Are there limits to the supported employment services you may receive? These changes to chapter 388-845 WAC are necessary to implement amendments to DDA’s home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers as approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Substantive changes remove the prohibition to receive employment services and community inclusion services concurrently and remove “consecutive” to align with RCW 71A.12.200. |
