Announcements

A Message from the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS)

The pandemic-related flexibility that allows parents of children under age 18 and spouses to be reimbursed for providing personal care services will end on November 10, 2023. To ensure a smooth transition, Employers of Record should search for an alternate caregiver as soon as possible.

Your services facilitator should be able to assist in locating resources to find qualified attendants and steps in the hiring process. The Consumer Directed Services Employer of Record Manual provides helpful information on hiring attendants. The EOR manual can be found on the DMAS website at: https://dmas.virginia.gov/for-providers/long-term-care/waivers/.

DMAS is awaiting Federal approval to permanently allow parents of minors and spouses to be paid to provide personal care services when no one else is available. EORs will have to show their recent efforts to hire an attendant, and no one else is available. DMAS will provide training for families and providers once Federal approval is received.

COVID-19 Vaccine Information

We want to make sure that you have the information you need to answer your questions about the new COVID-19 vaccine. Here are some frequently asked questions:

Will it work? There are four vaccines available now. They are highly effective at preventing serious illness and hospital admissions from COVID-19.
How do I get a vaccine? Once you pre-register, you will receive updates when you are able to schedule an appointment to get a vaccine.
What does it cost? There is no cost for anyone to receive a vaccine.
What should I expect when I get a vaccine? Depending on the type of vaccine you get, you will need one or two doses to ensure you are protected from COVID-19. You do not need to bring a government-issued ID and cannot be turned away for not having ID. It is important to bring some form of ID, if possible, to make sure the right person receives the vaccine.
