Who ever passed this law, clearly does not know the challenges in working directly with individuals with disabilities and those who have complex needs.
It appears that the purpose of this system to address fraud. In reality the people who are committing fraud, which is a very very very small percentage, will find other ways of doing it. It costs the state millions of dollars to provide care in inpatient facilities and hospitals. The state is saving millions by having caregivers provide services at home.
What will happen to those who require 24 hr supervision and are being cared for by a family member? How can the caregiver clock in or out if the person is 24/7?
How can a severe developmentally delay individual authorize the hours/work?
Should the recipients be homebound to accommodate the new system?
Where are the advocates for people with disabilities?
