The purpose of this GIS is to clarify for social services districts that respite services offered by a Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver under section 1915(c) of the Social Security Act cannot be provided through State Plan services such as the Personal Care Services Program (PCSP) or the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP). Language regarding respite and personal care on page 18 of 86 ADM-04, the Administrative Directive on the model waivers which subsequently became the Care at Home waiver, has been incorrectly interpreted to allow PCSP and therefore CDPAP to be used as respite; this is incorrect.
