The Massachusetts Transitional Assistance Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for operating state-compliant agencies delivering transitional assistance services to individuals in Massachusetts. This manual aligns with the Massachusetts Code of Regulations (130 CMR 630.000), Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) standards, and MassHealth Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver requirements to ensure full regulatory compliance and effective service delivery.
Key Features of the Manual:
  • Regulatory Compliance: The manual adheres to state-specific regulations, including 130 CMR (Home- and Community-Based Services Waivers) and DTA policies governing transitional assistance programs. It ensures providers meet all operational, safety, and documentation requirements while supporting individuals transitioning between care settings or life circumstances.
  • Service Scope: Transitional assistance services are designed to support individuals during periods of transition, such as moving from institutional care to community-based living or adjusting to changes in employment, housing, or healthcare. Services include case management, housing search assistance, employment readiness training, benefits coordination, transportation support, and referrals to community resources.
  • Eligibility Criteria: Transitional assistance services are available to individuals experiencing a significant life transition that requires support to achieve stability and independence. Eligibility is determined based on assessments conducted by DTA or MassHealth under HCBS waiver guidelines.
  • Conditions of Payment: Payment for transitional assistance services requires prior authorization from MassHealth or DTA. 
  • Operational Standards: Policies include staffing qualifications such as trained case managers and social workers who specialize in transitional planning. 
  • Nonpayable Services: The manual specifies exclusions such as services unrelated to the transition process or those covered by other funding sources (e.g., vocational rehabilitation programs). 
  • Quality Assurance: Robust quality assurance measures, including regular evaluations of participant progress, satisfaction surveys, and adherence to individualized service plans. 
 
This policy manual serves as a guide for agencies seeking licensure or certification to provide transitional assistance services in Massachusetts. It supports the delivery of individualized supports that facilitate successful transitions while ensuring adherence to the state's regulatory framework for home- and community-based services (HCBS).
