Notice: 20835229

Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF ELDER AFFAIRS

Division:

Home Care for the Elderly

Chapter:

HOME CARE FOR THE ELDERLY

Overview

RULE:

58H-1.003	Program Administration
58H-1.005	Client Eligibility

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the rulemaking is to increase the basic subsidy provided by the Home Care for the Elderly (HCE) program while continuing to serve the same number of program participants.  The effect of the rulemaking will be to match the current subsidy provided by the Home Care for Disabled Adults (HCDA) program so that when individuals transfer from HCDA to HCE, which they are required to do upon turning age 60, there will not be a decrease in their monthly subsidy.

SUMMARY:

The basic subsidy provided by HCE has not increased in over 20 years.  The proposed rules increase the basic subsidy provided by HCE and omit an outdated, unnecessary document that is incorporated by reference in the rule.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY:

430.08, 430.603 FS.

LAW:

430.603, 430.605, 430.606 FS.
