Long-term
care and services from the Minnesota Department of Human Services
(“MDHS”). MDHS will provide an update and information on the following
four key areas that are on the move that currently are or will impact
many of the clients served in Elder Law: 1) Medical Assistance for Employed
Persons with Disabilities (“MAEPD”); 2) Waiver Reimagine; 3) Roll out of
MN Choices Revision assessment; and 4) Medical Assistance Unwinding. We are grateful
to MDHS for providing four panelists with depth of
knowledge in these four areas to share important and current information with
us, as well as what to expect in the
future.
In addition, the current
Task Force on Aging, approved by the legislature last year, has convened and is
engaging in a robust conversation with a variety of professionals and
individuals regarding issues facing our aging population. We will receive
an update on the current Task Force discussions and possible future
considerations for the legislature. Finally, as time allows, we will hear
about various bills making their way through the legislature that may affect
Minnesotans receiving long-term care.
This CLE sponsored by the Elder
Law Section will address these topics to help elder law attorneys and
professionals navigate legal concerns on behalf of older and vulnerable
adults.
This CLE is
approved for credit through May 23,
2026.
