HCBS Settings Rule Resources
The HCBS Settings Rule makes sure we have basic rights when we receive services. But before March 17th, 2023, a lot of people weren’t getting these basic rights. Now we have more power to fight for our right to community living the Settings Rule! It’s important to know your rights so you can make full use of them!
In these resources, we will answer questions like
- What is the HCBS Settings Rule?
- How can I find out what rights I have under the HCBS Rule?
- What do I do if my rights are violated?
- What are corrective action plans?
- When am I getting my rights?
And more!
