Developmental Disabilities Services - Expedited Eligibility Determinations for Recently Relocated Individuals (Ralph's Act)

Summary

The bill creates an expedited 30‑day review for people who were already receiving developmental‑disability services in another state and relocate to Maryland after a caretaker’s death or incapacity. It lets the Department of Health start the eligibility check before the person becomes a resident, and places approved applicants in a crisis‑resolution category with appropriate waiver services. The measure aims to prevent service gaps for vulnerable individuals joining family in Maryland.
