Reconsider EOR guidelines and Hour Cap
 

Thinking families who have a child with needs that qualify them for a waiver will be able to find a non-relative, who lives within 50 miles, who you trust enough to handle sensitive data, who is willing to do this JOB (because it is A LOT OF WORK and requires regular meetings with a Service Facilitation Case Manager which require the EOR to be present) for FREE is completely asinine. 

Also - a 40 hour cap is completely un-realistic and will put undue financial, physical, and emotional strain on so many of these families who are barely surviving as is. Please reconsider this.
