Kansas Money Follows the Person (2017)

“If you live in a nursing home, the Money Follows the Person (MFP) program may be able to help you move home. The state of Kansas received grant money from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This money is used to help people move out of nursing homes. The MFP provides Transition Coordination Services. That means the program will pay someone to help you with each step. It covers things like:
• Finding an apartment or assisted living facility.
• Filling out apartment applications.
• Getting all the legal documents you need to
move into the community.
• Paying up to a certain amount for household
items. You may need furniture, kitchen utensils,
pots and pans, and bedding.
• Paying up to a certain amount to make changes
to your home. You may need a wheelchair ramp
or wider door ways. The bathroom may need
more space for grab bars for the tub or toilet.
• Paying security deposits.
• Finding the personal care that you need.
Care may include help with bathing, going
to the bathroom, meals and housekeeping.”

Alaska Medicaid Transition Period for Compliance with HCBS Criteria (2017)

“A CMS Informational Bulletin was released on May 9, 2017, indicating that the transition period for complying with home and community-based settings criteria is extended until March 17, 2022. In the Bulletin, CMS indicated that states may still choose to meet the original March 17, 2019 deadline. The State of Alaska values the person-centered transformation that will result from providers meeting the settings criteria, and acknowledges the progress made to bring Alaska’s providers into compliance. Accordingly, Alaska will retain the original March 17, 2019 deadline for settings to become compliant with the CMS home and community-based settings criteria.”
