H.R. 1279, The Direct Support Professional Fairness and Security Act

The Direct Support Professional Fairness and Security Act of 2007 proposes to offer enhanced federal Medicaid funding to states to increase wages for direct support professionals (DSPs) serving people with disabilities.

VOR supports this well-meaning bill and applauds Congressional efforts to address the direct care work force hiring and retention crisis.
