($1 billion) in 2024-25 Budget
Los Angeles Rally to Take Place Friday, May 31, 2024
[Posted: May 24, 2024]
Los Angeles, Calif. (May 21, 2024) Stakeholders are calling for a community rally on Friday, May 31, 2024, to raise awareness about a current proposal in the Governor’s budget. This proposal would delay the final stage of service provider rate reform implementation by one year to 2025-26. With an ever-increasing shortage of direct care staff, this delay threatens to destabilize the support system that people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities rely on to live safely and successfully in our community.
The Department of Developmental Services Directive Here announced that the Quality Incentive Program is offering information on how Early Intervention providers can participate in the QIP measure. The Directive covers Eligibility Click Here and Here, Incentive Payment Processing Click Here, Conditions for a Provider to receive Incentive Payments.
The latest plan recognizes the need to have families/children enrolled in Early Start and is offering a fiscal incentive to programs. The plan HERE is different from information shared in the July, 2023 Presentation to the Interagency Coordinating Council and at the January 2024 ICC Meeting.
Steps to listing a program in the Statewide Provider Directory are not included in this Directive.
The QIP email to ask questions, share comments is [email protected]
ACTION NEEDED: Have you contacted your legislators?
Call to ACTION English Click Here in Spanish Here to let them know you are opposed to having a $1B proposed delay in implementing the rate increase to providers rates? Early Intervention providers have not had a rate adjustment. Thanks to The Arc California for offering this easy platform to communicate with legislators.
Governor Newsom released his proposed budget on January 10th. He is suggesting that providers of service through the Department of Developmental Services be prepared for a "delay" in the roll out of the rate model funds. You can have a conversation about what does delay mean .....a cut or not. Basically the funds are not going to be passed along to the providers as promised and planned.
