The Rhode Island Personal Assistance Services and Supports (PASS) Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering person-centered personal assistance services to children and young adults with disabilities in Rhode Island. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), the Department of Human Services (DHS), and the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs. It also ensures compliance with state-administered PASS initiatives under the Katie Beckett eligibility pathway and related long-term care supports for children with special needs. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency authorization and oversight, participant eligibility and referral processes, comprehensive needs assessments, individualized service and goal planning, staffing and scheduling, provider qualifications and training, family involvement and collaboration, youth rights and protections, emergency procedures, incident reporting, documentation and billing, and quality assurance. It emphasizes skill-building, inclusion, and developmental growth through community-based assistance tailored to each participant’s functional needs and goals. This manual serves as a foundational resource for PASS agencies in Rhode Island, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant services that support children and young adults in building independence, participating meaningfully in community life, and achieving personal success at home and beyond.
