Summary

The bill directs Virginia’s Department of Medical Assistance Services to ask the federal government to change Medicaid waiver rules so a person receiving services can act as the employer of record for their own care. It also lets the participant name another person to handle those duties when they are unable to do so. The change aims to give participants more control over hiring and managing their caregivers.
