HB 1341 - DIGEST

(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

     Provides that, in order to provide Washington consumers receiving community residential services in licensed adult family homes and boarding homes who have a gross income above three hundred percent of the federal benefit rate with greater choices in where they may live and receive services, the department will develop a section 1915(c) of the federal social security act home and community-based waiver that will provide services to consumers living in community residential settings who are income ineligible for services under the current community options program entry system waiver.

     Declares that this waiver will allow consumers to spend down their income to become eligible for services.
