Short Statement: Section 6087 of the DRA amended Section 1915 of the Social Security Act to add a new subsection that would allow a State the option to amend their State plan to provide self-directed personal assistance services to beneficiaries, without regard to the Medicaid requirements of compariability or statewideness. To provide this new option, States must amend their Medicaid State Plans to reflect this new flexibility. This is a new collection of information; therefore, there has been an increase in burden.
