<span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:black">The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) sent a letter to State Medicaid Directors alerting them to an additional one-year extension on the deadline to complete implementation of activities and demonstrate
compliance with the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Settings Rule. The Rule, which establishes basic protections for older adults and people with disabilities who receive Medicaid-funded HCBS, had previously been granted a deadline extension from
2017 to 2022. The new deadline is now March 17, 2023. CMS cited the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting social distancing measures, economic fallout, and underlying health vulnerabilities of older adults and people with disabilities as reasons for
the delay. The HCBS Advocacy Coalition, of which the AUCD is a member, issued a response disagreeing with the CMS decision, arguing that the prevalence of COVID-19 cases in congregant settings such as nursing home should accelerate the move towards HCBS settings
rather than slow the transition. </span><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
