Key Policy Decisions Log

In an effort to clearly communicate key policy decisions related to the long-term services and supports effort, FSSA has compiled a key policy decisions log. The purpose of this document is to share and track when decisions are or will be made. The key policy decisions log will be updated regularly to capture progress.

In developing this resource, FSSA used feedback received from stakeholders to identify policy decision points of most concern and importance to older Hoosiers, caregivers, providers and other stakeholders. Comments and questions regarding this document can be submitted to backhome.indiana@fssa.in.gov.
