00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:01.030
Question 26.

00:00:01.030 --> 00:00:04.352
Were direct-support workers
ever required to work without

00:00:04.352 --> 00:00:05.598
a current plan?

00:00:05.598 --> 00:00:08.920
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:09.335
finding.

00:00:09.335 --> 00:00:10.166
People served:

00:00:10.166 --> 00:00:13.072
Plans must support informed
participation, accessible language,

00:00:13.072 --> 00:00:15.979
consent, signatures, distribution,
risk planning, and review.

00:00:15.979 --> 00:00:16.809
David Medeiros:

00:00:16.809 --> 00:00:20.131
Documenting plan failures may
support petition or anti-retaliation

00:00:20.131 --> 00:00:23.453
theories, but protected activity
and causation need proof.

00:00:23.453 --> 00:00:24.284
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.284 --> 00:00:27.190
ABI may hold contract
or process interests;

00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:30.512
a missing plan does not
automatically become ABI's

00:00:30.512 --> 00:00:31.343
constitutional injury.

00:00:31.343 --> 00:00:33.419
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.419 --> 00:00:36.741
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:36.741 --> 00:00:37.571
a contract.

00:00:37.571 --> 00:00:40.478
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.478 --> 00:00:43.385
Preserve every plan version,
signature, delivery receipt,

00:00:43.385 --> 00:00:45.461
authorization, revision,
and back-up strategy.

00:00:45.461 --> 00:00:48.368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
