Title: Home and Community Based Services: Waiver Requirements (CMS-2296-P) 
Abstract: This proposed rule would clarify that a State may design a waiver program that is cross-disability in nature and would include requirements for State-defined and CMS-approved criteria for characteristics of any home and community-based setting. These changes would remove Federal barriers to the States' ability to design needs-based, person-centered HCBS Programs, rather than programs based solely upon an individual's diagnosis.
