SPD-AR-13-013 - DHS home

The 1.25% increase to the benefit level will be pro-rated by the amount of time
between 4/1/13 and the end of an individual’s plan year.
Individuals receiving Adult Support Services and who are at the upper most limit of
support service funding (eg: “Full Base Plus/ADL,” currently at the benefit amount of
$24,488 per year) will not have an increase to their annual benefit level.
PSW Job Descriptions do not have to be adjusted to reflect the new wage rate until
they are renewed with the provider.
This action does not impact or make other changes to rules and regulations governing
the implementation of in-home services, the development of service plans, or the
application of plan or benefit limits.
Reason for Action: The 2011-2013 Collective Bargaining Agreement between Home
Care Commission and Services Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 503,
OPEU requires a 1.25% raise in wages for all personal support workers.
