HCS MANAGEMENT BULLETIN

H20-103 – Information

December 15, 2020

TO:

Home and Community Services (HCS) Division Regional Administrators

Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) Regional Administrators

Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Directors

FROM:

Bea Rector, Director, Home and Community Services Division

Shannon Manion, Director of the Division of Field Services, Developmental Disabilities Administration

SUBJECT:

January 2021 Changes with COLA

PURPOSE:

To notify staff of their responsibilities regarding client payments for services starting January 1, 2021.

BACKGROUND:

Many clients are required to pay toward the cost of their care before the Department pays for services. The Department determines this amount for all long-term care services.

HCS and DDA residential clients, other than Adult Protective Services (APS) residential clients, pay toward their cost of room and board. HCS staff: see Chapter 8 - Residential Services, in the Long-Term Care Manual for details on room and board. DDA staff: see DDA Policy 6.06 Client Responsibility for details on room and board. The client’s total contribution for room and board and the cost of their personal care services is indicated on the provider’s authorization in ProviderOne. Clients receive correspondence from ProviderOne that reflects their social service authorizations and details related to applied client responsibility.

WHAT’S NEW, CHANGED, OR CLARIFIED:

Effective January 1, 2021, the following benefits will increase:

· Social Security Benefits by 1.3%

· Railroad Retirement (RR) and Veteran’s (VA) Benefits by 1.3%

· Some pensions, such as federal civil service pensions by 1.3%

Effective January 1, 2021, the following standards will increase:

· Special Income Level (SIL)

· Categorically Needy Income Level (CNIL)

· Medically Needy Income Level (MNIL)

· Federal Benefit Rate (FBR)

· Maintenance allowance for in-home waiver recipient with community spouse

· Residential room and board standard

· Community spouse maintenance allocation

· Federal spousal resource transfer maximum

· Home Equity Limit

· Medical Institution Personal Needs Allowance (PNA)

· HCS and DDA Waiver Residential PNA

Effective January 1, 2021:

· ACES will:

· Auto update SSA and SSI income amounts for most clients.

· Recalculate client responsibility for January 2021 and generate COLA letters and translations, if necessary, for HCS and DDA waivers, PACE, SSI-related residential MPC, CFC, and Roads to Community Living clients.

· ACES will not:

· Generate a letter for any clients receiving MAGI-based coverage who receive MPC or CFC in a residential setting.

· Generate a letter for any clients active on Medical Care Services (A01/A05) coverage group in a residential setting.

VA and RR benefits must be manually updated in ACES. Clients with cases requiring manual updates will receive a postcard reminder (see attached memo) in early January advising them to report their new income amounts.

The personal needs allowance (PNA) for clients living in medical institutions and residential settings increases from $70.00 to $71.12 per month.

The new room and board amount for all HCS and DDA residential settings is $722.88. This amount is determined by using the following formula of the Federal Benefit Rate: $794 - $71.12 PNA = $722.88. Current residential authorizations with R&B rate of $713 are automatically updated to $722.88 by ProviderOne by January 1, 2021 for clients in the following programs:

· SSI-related residential MPC

· CFC

· HCS and DDA waivers

· PACE

· Roads to Community Living

Service authorizations must be entered before the month of service begins for Client Responsibility to calculate correctly and send the correct letters timely to clients and providers.

ACTION:

Action Required by Case Managers:

· Calculate and update client responsibility using the calculator attached below on the financial screen in CARE for clients on the following programs:

· HCS Waivers/MPC/CFC Fast Track

· DDA and HCS MAGI-based coverage groups (N-track) in residential settings

· DDA and HCS Non-citizens on the ABD Cash/HEN programs (A01/A05)– AFH

· DDA and HCS State-funded LTC Program for Non-Citizens if receiving MAGI coverage (N21 and N25 coverage groups) in residential settings

· DDA State Funded Group Homes

· Send the Client Responsibility Notice (DSHS 18-720 for HCS or DSHS 18-692 for DDA) to these clients informing them of the amount they have to pay for room and board.

· If the client is active on basic food or cash, the social service specialist must verify the income by looking at the income verified in ACES.

· If the client is only active on a MAGI-based program, the case manager may use the client’s self-attested income found in ACES online on the client level screen under Health Plan Finder Income.

Action Required by Public Benefit Specialists:

· Manually update cases for clients:

· Who have Veteran’s, Railroad Retirement, or SSA/SSI benefits that were not auto updated by ACES.

· With a community spouse with income that needs to be updated.

Note: Adhoc reports in Barcode can be printed for the Veteran's and Railroad Retirement pensions. A Barcode tickle has been sent for SSA/SSI clients not auto updated by ACES (COL3).

· Update Food Stamp Medical Expense for at-home HCS or DDA waiver clients who pay client responsibility in excess of $35.00 and receive Basic Food.

· Update room and board (R&B) exception to rule (ETR) amounts for a monthly maintenance needs allowance (MMNA), update the spouses unearned income type of AN (MMNA ETR Amount) as well.

Program is effective 7/1/2017

x

This is a desk tool used by Aging and Long Term Supports Administration (ALTSA) field staff that has all the medical coverage groups/programs in Washington and what Home and Community Service can be authorized under that medical program if functionally eligible.

x – Service covered under the medical coverage group. Be sure to look at notes and comments.

a – This is provided under L51 for SSI recipients or L52 for SSI-related recipients. S01 and S02 clients are financially eligible for CFC or MPVC; and once financial is notified services have opened under CFC or MPC, the FSS will change the case to a L51 or L52. In addition, G03 rules are built into L52.

b – All NF admissions for skilled or rehabilitation are the responsibility of the managed care entity if enrolled and must be pre-approved by the managed care plan

c – CHIP is Title XXI, and not eligible for Title XIX CFC/MPC, or MAC due to age. There is a CFC/MPC “look-alike” service for Title XXI eligible individuals

d – MAC is Medicaid Alternative Care to provide supports for an unpaid caregiver. The financial requirement of this program are similar to MPC in that the client must be eligible for a CN or ABP medical program. A person cannot get MPC, CFC or HCB Waiver and MAC at the same time. A CN client can be on a MSP and receive MAC. The client must be age 55 or older.

e – Although TSOA is a separate coverage group – “T02” – a person can be MN/non-full scope Medicaid and receive T02. For example, S03 and T02 or S99 and T02. A client on CN or ABP can be considered for MAC if the client is not interested in CFC/MPC. The client must be age 55 or older.

* Must have disability, resource, and income determination for HCB Waiver services. (HCB Waiver services can be used for individuals on cash assistance or foster care as long as a disability determination has been established and the financial worker must keep the assistance unit (AU) as a foster care AU. Until cash assistance is de-linked from the medical assistance, the cash AU must be used in ACES.

** State funded program, not technically CFC/MPC, but does provider similar levels of personal care and services.

*** N23 is a pregnancy medical program paid for under CHIP dollars for the unborn child and currently is not included in the inclusion table for CFC or MAC. 10/2019 clarification from HCA indicates N23 covers MPC but not MAC or CFC.

Medicaid Alternative Care Provide for unpaid caregivers who support a person on CN or ABP medicaid eligible but who do not currently access traditional LTSS services, (like MPC or CFC). Although the financial eligibility is the same as MPC, a person can’t get both MPC and MAC at the same time.

Tailored supports for older adults. This is a pre-medicaid CN/ABP medicaid benefit. A person cannot be on CN/ABP medicaid and get TSOA (we could considered MAC for those on CN/ABP). Medicaid coverage is not included in the TSOA medicaid package, although a person could be on a MSP or MN program and receive TSOA benefits. If not financially eligible for TSOA, there is a state funded program through the AAA offices. This program is effective 7/1/2017
