The permanent rule filing, which has rule text edits, is attached and will be available soon from the Self-Sufficiency Programs rulemaking website here. The filing caption and rule change summaries are below. SSP_35-2026TrackedChanges.pdf Summary of changes Filing Caption: Changes to Noncitizen Eligibility, Notice Periods, Effective Dates, Hearings, and Tax-Favored Plans AMEND: 461-025-0310 RULE TITLE: Hearing Requests RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-025-0310 is being amended to (1) explicitly provide hearing rights for individuals who contest the Department’s recovery of General Assistance (GA) and State Family Pre-SSI/SSDI (SFPSS) benefits from Supplemental Security Income (SSI); (2) remove references to OAR chapter 410 for medical assistance programs not governed by OAR chapter 410 rules and to instead specify the applicable hearing request requirements directly in this rule for all other medical assistance programs; and (3) remove hearing rights related to child-care benefits authorized under OAR chapter 461, division 160 or 165, because authority over those programs transferred to OAR chapter 414 when child-care programs moved from the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) to the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) in 2023. AMEND: 461-115-0704 RULE TITLE: Required Verification of Citizenship and Noncitizen Status; Medicare Savings Programs and OSIPM RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-115-0704 is being amended to require noncitizens who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to provide verification of their noncitizen status because their status can no longer be considered verified based solely on receipt of SSI. Public Law 119-21 (2025) does not change noncitizen eligibility for SSI, so those receiving SSI may not meet the non-citizen eligibility for Medicaid. AMEND: 461-120-0110 RULE TITLE: Citizenship and Noncitizen Status Requirements RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-120-0110 is being amended to update the rule referenced for noncitizen status requirements for Oregon Supplemental Income Program Medical (OSIPM) and Medicare Savings Programs (MSP) to the newly created rule, 461-120-0112. ADOPT: 461-120-0112 RULE TITLE: Noncitizen Status Requirements; Medicare Savings Programs and OSIPM RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-120-0112 is being adopted to identify immigration statuses that are eligible for Oregon Supplemental Income Program Medical (OSIPM) and Medicare Savings Programs and aligns with those listed as eligible for Medicaid in Public Law 119-21 (2025). Eligibility is removed for Refugees, Asylees, Amerasians, Humanitarian Parolees, and domestic violence or human trafficking survivors. Eligibility is now limited to citizens of a Compact of Free Association nation, Cuban/Haitian Entrants, lawfully present children, and Lawful Permanent Residents who meet the 5-year bar or have an exception to the 5-year bar. AMEND: 461-120-0125 RULE TITLE: Noncitizen Status Requirements; REF, REFM, SNAP, and TANF RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-120-0125 is being amended to remove the noncitizen status requirements for Oregon Supplemental Income Program Medical (OSIPM) and Medicare Savings Program (MSP). Rule provisions for these programs are moving into their own rule, 461-120-0112. The remaining provisions in this rule are being reorganized and reworded accordingly. AMEND: 461-135-0010 RULE TITLE: Assumed, Continuous, and Protected Eligibility; Medicare Savings Programs, OSIPM RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-135-0010 is being amended to require noncitizens who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to meet citizenship and noncitizen requirements. Public Law 119-21 (2025) does not change the noncitizen eligibility for SSI, so those receiving SSI may not meet the non-citizen eligibility for Medicaid. AMEND: 461-135-1080 RULE TITLE: Specific Requirements; OSIPM-Healthier Oregon RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-135-1080 is being amended to remove the section that describes how individuals will be transitioned into the Healthier Oregon Program. All individuals who were eligible for Healthier Oregon as described in this rule section have been transitioned to the program. AMEND: 461-140-0040 RULE TITLE: Determining Availability of Income RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-140-0040 is being amended to clarify that income exclusions established elsewhere in chapter 461 rules apply when determining the amount of income considered available. AMEND: 461-140-0296 RULE TITLE: Length of Disqualification Due to an Asset Transfer; Nursing Facility Services or Home and Community-Based Care RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-140-0296 is being amended to update the dollar amount (divisor) used when calculating the length of disqualification for individuals requesting or receiving nursing facility services or home and community-based care who have made a disqualifying transfer. The new divisor takes in consideration cost of living adjustment (COLA) changes. This permanent amendment keeps Oregon aligned with current federal guidance as described in federal statute 42 USC Chapter7 Subchapter XIX Sec 1396p(c)(E)(i)(II). AMEND: 461-145-0120 RULE TITLE: Earned Income; Defined RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-145-0120 is being amended to clarify that flexible spending account funds are not considered earned income for the Medicare Savings Programs and Oregon Supplemental Income Program Medical. This change matches current Department practice as well as federal policy. ADOPT: 461-145-0528 RULE TITLE: Tax-Favored Health Plans; Medicare Savings Programs and OSIPM RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-145-0528 is being adopted to match existing Department practice and to align with applicable federal requirements regarding the treatment of tax-favored health plans in the Medicare Savings Programs and Oregon Supplemental Income Program Medical. The rule clarifies how funds held in tax-favored health plans are treated for purposes of determining financial eligibility. AMEND: 461-175-0050 RULE TITLE: Notice Period RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-175-0050 is being amended to restore the timely notice period for long-term care services to at least 10 days. This does not apply to services provided under the Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). AMEND: 461-180-0040 RULE TITLE: Effective Dates; Special and Service Needs RULE SUMMARY: OAR 461-180-0040 is being amended to specify that different effective dates apply for adverse action on services depending on the care setting and the reason for the closure.

ODDS update: Children’s transportation services next steps Inbox Oregon Department of Human Services Unsubscribe 10:24 AM (2 hours ago) to me Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. ODHS Developmental Disabilities Services ODDS logo Children’s transportation services next steps Read this in: اللغة العربية | Русский | Soomaali | Español | 简体中文 | Tiếng Việt Date: Oct. 1, 2026 To: Intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) community members From: Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS) Hello there, This update is for the entire community. It’s most important for: Teenagers who get in-home supports Parents and guardians of children who get in-home supports Anyone interested in children’s transportation The Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS) hosted two public meetings about children’s transportation in July. Thank you, all who shared your experiences and feedback. Why did ODDS host the meetings? Since early this year, we have heard from parents and partners that they are confused about children’s transportation services. We held the meetings to hear directly from you about your questions. We also heard what works or hasn’t worked for you. What did ODDS hear at the meetings? Here are some of the main themes we heard from you: Some parents and services coordinators are confused by the current policy for children’s transportation. The current policy is not being implemented consistently across the state. It’s difficult and isolating when children don’t have enough transportation support. Families want clear information about whether they can pay their child’s workers privately or make other plans for workers to drive their children. School and medical rides can be hard to arrange or don’t meet children’s needs. Families need breaks and support, like respite care. Current I/DD services don’t always fit what each child needs. Thank you, again, all who shared your feedback and experiences with us. What has ODDS done since the meetings? Is ODDS changing the children’s transportation policy? Based on your feedback and ideas, we assessed our children’s transportation policy, the related federal policies, and our options. We can’t change our policy without changing our: Medicaid waivers and K Plan — the authorities that allow us to use federal funds, Needs assessments, and Rules. Also, we’d likely need legislative direction and more funding to make these changes. We’ll base any future changes that we consider on your feedback as much as possible. Here’s what we can do now: We can clarify the policy to make it easier to understand and follow. So, we updated the worker guide, “Attendant Care for Children.” We added details about when transportation is allowed and why. We also explained more about why the policy doesn’t allow certain things. For services coordinators: These updates will help you use this guide to plan with children and parents. We’ll also share the new guide with you in a transmittal today. Please use the guide and the translations of this message to assist people with any questions. Thank you. For parents and teens who get in-home supports: We summarized the clarifications from the worker guide for you in the message below. If you want, you can read the full worker guide online in English. Which types of workers do the guide’s clarifications apply to? Our policy for children’s transportation applies to any worker who provides hourly attendant care to children who live in their family home. This includes personal support workers and direct support professionals. This message will call them “workers.” When can a child’s intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) services pay for a worker’s time and mileage to drive a child? We can pay workers to provide transportation and for their mileage in very specific situations. A child must have a specific need for transportation. The need must be defined in the child’s Individual Support Plan (ISP). This means a parent can bill a worker’s mileage and attendant care hours when: A child has a positive behavior support plan that includes transporting a child between their family home and a community location as a reactive strategy during a behavior escalation. An individual age 16 or older is working and has an exception for transportation to and from work. In these cases, services coordinators can authorize both attendant care hours and mileage. Can ODDS change the children’s transportation policy to pay for specific situations and needs, such as rides for school or medical appointments? No. ODDS cannot duplicate services that other Medicaid-funded systems pay for. These other systems include: School transportation or support during school transportation: School districts pay for these services when a child needs them. Medical transportation: This service includes transportation to medical and therapy appointments. Oregon Health Plan (OHP) pays for these services. Please note: Our services can pay for a worker to ride with and give support to a child during medical visits. Can ODDS change the children’s transportation policy to pay workers to drive children for tasks, such as to the park, store, and community events? No, not with Oregon’s current Medicaid authorities. We cannot duplicate or pay for the care or tasks that parents would do for children who don’t have disabilities. If a child needs extra support in the vehicle or at the destination, that support is included in our services. We pay for a worker to be with a child while in transit and at the destination. We just can’t pay the driver of the vehicle. We hear some parents are frustrated by this part of the policy and would like it changed. We cannot do this quickly or alone. Why? A policy change at this level will likely require funding. We would need to pay for the driver’s time and their mileage because of what is and is not included in hourly attendant care. This type of change would require a change to our Medicaid authorities that allows this service as a part of attendant care, or as part of or in combination with another type of service. Can a worker get paid to ride along and assist a child on rides to the park, store, community events, or for other ordinary tasks? Yes, if a child needs extra support on the way. In that case, our services can pay a worker to ride along. Please note: You cannot use our services to pay the worker to be the driver. Can a parent privately pay a worker to provide their child with a ride? Our rules only apply to services that use ODDS funding. Our rules don’t apply to situations outside of our funding. This means that if a parent and a child’s worker agree, the parent can privately pay the worker to give their child a ride. Can a parent use ODDS funding to pay a worker to go with their child when using a ride service? Yes, we can pay the worker for attendant care during a ride if: A parent pays privately for a ride service, such as a cab, Lyft, or Uber, and, Their child needs support during the ride. What are my next steps as a parent? How do I ask questions about children’s services? We hope these clarifications are helpful. If you have questions or concerns about your or your child’s services, please contact your services coordinator. They can advise you on how the policy clarifications may affect how you manage your child’s transportation services. They can also help you find information and other resources to help with school transportation, medical transportation, and advocacy. If you have questions or feedback about the current policy or actions we’re taking, email odds.questions@odhs.oregon.gov. How do I stay informed? If you’re not on our community mailing list, please sign up for ODDS community updates. That way, you’ll get our next update.
