Anticipated?Changes to Temporary Rate Increase

In 2020, Federal American Rescue Plan Act funding was included in the state budget, and a portion of it was applied as a temporary rate increase for contracted providers. The funding affected Community Residential Providers, which includes the following programs:


* Children: Child Foster Care, Child Group Care, Out-of-Home Service.
* Adults: Group Home, Group Training Home, Supported Living, Supported Living - Community Protection, Companion Homes, Alternative Living.

In accordance with the ESSB 5693 (2022 Supplemental Budget Bill) Section 204(1)(u), this temporary rate increase will be reduced every six months beginning starting July 1, 2022, and be fully phased out of the state budget by July 1, 2024.

Beginning July 1, 2022, your temporary rate increase will be 7.3%, reflecting the first phase of the step-down.

Additional information regarding future reductions to your temporary rate increase will be sent every six months, prior to each change.
