Implementer § 251 — COLAs for Providers Contracting with DDS
PA 21-2, June Special Session, § 341, requires OPM to allocate available funds for FYs 22 and 23 to increase rates to state-contracted providers for wage enhancements and related payroll taxes, workers compensation, and unemployment insurance expenses for employees providing services to people with intellectual disabilities who receive supports and services through DDS. Under the bill, if the OPM secretary allocates funds for these purposes and available funds remain unallocated for FYs 22 and 23, the bill requires that OPM disburse the funds as a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to state-contracted providers delivering services and supports through DDS.
