SECTION 275.5. Description of the CMPAS Program

The CMPAS Program is a non-Medicaid program that provides attendant care services to enhance and maintain an individual's integration into the community, including participation in employment and education or training opportunities, and community volunteering designed to help the individual enter and remain in the workforce and in the community. The CMPAS Program includes a co-payment provision based on income to allow an individual to participate in the program regardless of income. The program empowers an individual to self-direct services to the greatest extent possible under one of three service delivery options: the traditional service option, the block grant option, or the consumer directed services option.
