Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The purpose of these rules is to amend chapter 388-828 WAC, The DDD assessment, to include information governing the algorithm the division of developmental disabilities (DDD) uses to determine if a person meets the eligibility requirements for the CIIBS waiver program.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The need for these rules is [the] result of the 2008 supplemental budget, ESHB 2687, section (1)(i) directing the department to develop and implement a federal HCBS waiver to provide intensive behavior support services for up to one hundred children with developmental disabilities and their families.
CMS approved the waiver as of May 1, 2009. DDD filed emergency rules to allow for the receipt [of] federal funds for CIIBS while stakeholder work continued.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 71A.12.010 and 71A.12.30 [71A.12.030].
Statute Being Implemented: Title 71A RCW.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Department of social and health services, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Mark R. Eliason, 640 Woodland Square Loop S.E., Lacey, WA 98504, (360) 725-2517; Implementation: Christie Seligman, 640 Woodland Square Loop S.E., Lacey, WA 98504, (360) 725-3448; and Enforcement: Don Clintsman, 640 Woodland Square Loop S.E., Lacey, WA 98504, (360) 725-3426.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. This is a brand new program with no existing providers. In conjunction with the implementation of this program, DDD will be developing a provider base.
A cost-benefit analysis is required under RCW 34.05.328. [No further information supplied by agency.]
