The new Home and Community Based Settings (HCBS) Waiver Rule went into effect in January of 2014 and is in the process of being implemented by states. This Rule includes a prohibition against the use of HCBS Waiver funds to provide services in “Settings that Isolate” to improve access to community life. This results of this promising public policy change hinges on how the Rule is implemented by states. This Listening Session provides participants an opportunity to share your experiences and observations about state Rule implementation with federal representatives who can provide clarity and use your input to inform implementation. This is a Listening Session, and participants will share what they are experiencing in states and learn from each other.
