Personal Supports is a traditional "waivered service" that provides unlicensed staffing support. Personal Supports is available to people who receive MR/RC Waiver funding. While Personal Supports is a staffing-only service, the county case manager may also build mileage and other items into the customer's traditional support plan, depending the person's needs. If a person is using Personal Support for their staffing, they must also have at least one paid or unpaid habilitative component built into the service plan. PICS has developed a Personal Supports program that is flexible and affordable. The customer is the Managing Employer and PICS is the employer of record. If current CDCS/FSE customers choose to remain with PICS, but switch to Personal Supports, their staff will not need to complete additional paperwork and there is no additional fee. The fee for this service is 23% of payroll costs. If other items are built into your plan, PICS can reimburse you and bill for these services; the fee for this service is 3%. If you’d like to learn more about this option, contact your county case manager. At PICS we believe that using traditional services shouldn’t mean losing the control and authority many people enjoy under CDCS. If you have any questions about PICS Personal Support Services, please feel free to contact Beth Peterson or another PICS Program Manager.
