MN SF3928

Defines "shared services" as personal care assistance provided by one worker to two or three medical assistance-eligible recipients simultaneously in the same setting, such as a home residence or licensed child care program

Establishes tiered payment rates for shared services: up to 1.5 times the single-recipient rate for two recipients sharing services, and up to twice the rate for three recipients sharing services

Requires provider agencies to use a specified percentage of additional revenue from shared services exclusively for wage increases and wage-related costs (FICA, Medicare, unemployment taxes, workers' compensation) for workers providing those services

Creates parallel shared services frameworks for the Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) program under both the agency-provider model and the budget model, with commissioner authorization required based on appropriateness for participants' needs and safety

Consolidates and renumbers definitions related to community first services and supports into a new section (256B.8502), directing the revisor of statutes to reorganize existing definitions alphabetically
