Important update for parents and spouses providing PCA services

When the federal public health emergency ends May 11, parents of minors and spouses will no longer be allowed to be paid to provide personal care assistant (PCA) program services.

It is important that family members providing these services make alternate arrangements for PCA workers prior to May 11. This applies to parents and spouses providing PCA services to:

◼ Seniors and people with disabilities enrolled in Medical Assistance (MA), whether fee-for-service or through a health plan
◼ People who are pregnant or age 18 or younger enrolled in MinnesotaCare
◼ People on home and community-based waiver programs.

Contact your family member’s PCA agency or county/tribal case manager to transition service workers or ask questions.
