ACL invites you to a webinar in our "Strengthening Advocacy in the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Settings Rule" series, "Getting the Services You Need from the Waiver – Participant Rights,"on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, from 1:00-2:30 PM CT. The webinar will review Appendix F – Participant Rights in the HCBS waiver application and the safeguards this appendix provides for participants. The presentation will cover the part of the waiver application where the state outlines its required fair hearing process and whether it will include a dispute resolution process and a grievance system. The webinar will also cover how stakeholders can have an impact on the application and why these protections are important. Speakers:
