September 29, 2023
The Department of Developmental Services’ (Department) January 20, 2023 guidance requires regional centers, through September 30, 2023, to pay Financial Management Services (FMS) providers on a weekly basis including for services that have been provided in the current month. This guidance extends this requirement through December 31, 2024.
The January 20, 2023 guidance also requires regional centers to notify FMS providers within three business days of the planning team finalizing any change in a participant’s spending plan. This requirement remains effective.
If participants and/or their families have questions regarding this directive, they should contact their regional center. Questions from regional centers should be directed to [email protected].
Sincerely,
