PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of these rule amendments is to implement iBudget Florida as required by section 393.0662, Florida Statutes (“F.S.”).

SUMMARY:

These rule amendments will enable the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (“Agency”) to comply with statutory changes to sections 393.063 and 393.0662, F.S., as adopted by the Florida Legislature in chapter 2020-71, Laws of Florida. Chapter 2020-71 revised some of the requirements for the Agency to establish the iBudget Florida system for the delivery of Medicaid Home and Community Based Services Waiver services to clients with developmental disabilities. Specifically, chapter 2020-71 revised the criteria used by the Agency to authorize additional funding for clients with significant additional needs and requires the Agency to certify and document the use of other available services before approving the expenditure of certain funds. These rule amendments clarify the documentation required for each service requested in a client’s cost plan and a significant additional needs request. These rule amendments also improve the wording of the rules generally so that its application is unambiguous and consistent.
