Abstract: This collection entails an electronic, web-based survey that will allow states to self-report their progress in implementing electronic visit verification (EVV) for personal care services (PCS) and home health care services (HHCS), as required by section 1903(l) of the Social Security Act. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will use the survey data to assess states’ compliance with section 1903(l) of the Act and levy FMAP reductions where necessary as required by 1903(l) of the Act. Data collection will begin in November 2019 and will end when all states have fully implemented EVV systems according to the requirements specified at section 1903(l) of the Act.

Short Statement: In this 2025 iteration we are adjusting our active burden estimates since all states and territories have completed their initial survey responses for PCS and HHCS. In addition, fewer survey updates are estimated since all states and territories have completed their initial survey response for PCS and HHCS, with 53 of 56 states having fully achieved compliance for PCS and 48 of 56 states having fully achieved compliance for HHCS. Wages and costs have also been updated to reflect the most recent BLS data. Overall, we estimate 46 fewer respondents, 148 fewer responses, 232 fewer hours, and minus $17,285. We are not revising any of our active survey instruments and instructions.
