On behalf of the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission adopted amendments that would allow an individual receiving services through the Home and Community-based Services Program to participate in the consumer directed services option (CDS), which is “a service delivery option in which an individual or legally authorized representative (LAR) employs and retains service providers and directs the delivery of program services.”
DADS received written comments about the amendments and included comments and responses in the February 9 Texas Register update. To read more, see the relevant section.
