Maryland Medical Assistance Program and Developmental Disabilities Administration - Home- and Community-Based Services Eligibility Determinations (Maryland Protecting People With Disabilities Act)

Summary

The legislation eliminates the strict 90‑day window for appealing a loss of eligibility under the Developmental Disabilities Administration, sets clear timelines for Medicaid eligibility decisions, and bars the Department of Health from dropping individuals from home‑ and community‑based services for procedural reasons except in limited situations. It also requires the department to give clear, accessible information about eligibility and to reserve certain waiver slots for those who lose eligibility. The goal is to prevent service interruptions that can push people back into institutional settings.
