The purpose of this hearing is to receive comments on proposed changes to Title 202, Chapter 1 of the Nebraska Administrative Code (NAC) – Determining Ability to Pay for Supports and Services Funded by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. The regulations govern the determination of an applicant’s or a beneficiary’s ability to pay for services funded by the Department of Health and Human Services when the services are provided by state institutions and developmental disability providers of community-based services. The proposed changes remove any repeat of statutory language or internal agency process from the regulations; update formatting; update internal references within the regulations; and modified the hardship waiver section. Ability to pay calculations have not changed.
