Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope you are well!

Attached is the budget communication document OPRA developed on the recently passed budget. This document is meant to be a tool in your toolbox as you communicate with your staff about the increases. You can customize the document as necessary to reflect the services your ageny provides and how the increases will impact your agency. We waited to release this document until we could share percentage increases to the various waiver services. Those increases have been posted to DODD’s website: https://dodd.ohio.gov/about-us/Budget/Budget You can find the increases under the “HCBS Rates (Agency and Independent)” tab toward the bottom of the page.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the document, the rates, or the budget more generally!

Thanks!

Stay healthy and have a great day,

Christine
