00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,003
Question 33.

2
00:00:01,003 --> 00:00:04,214
Were plans written in
plain language and an

3
00:00:04,214 --> 00:00:07,024
accessible form suited to
the participant’s disability?

4
00:00:07,024 --> 00:00:10,235
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,235 --> 00:00:10,636
finding.

6
00:00:10,636 --> 00:00:11,439
People served:

7
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:14,249
Plans must support informed
participation, accessible language,

8
00:00:14,249 --> 00:00:17,059
consent, signatures, distribution,
risk planning, and review.

9
00:00:17,059 --> 00:00:17,862
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:17,862 --> 00:00:21,073
Documenting plan failures may
support petition or anti-retaliation

11
00:00:21,073 --> 00:00:24,284
theories, but protected activity
and causation need proof.

12
00:00:24,284 --> 00:00:25,087
ABI Resources:

13
00:00:25,087 --> 00:00:27,897
ABI may hold contract
or process interests;

14
00:00:27,897 --> 00:00:31,108
a missing plan does not
automatically become ABI's

15
00:00:31,108 --> 00:00:31,911
constitutional injury.

16
00:00:31,911 --> 00:00:33,918
Constitutional claims
need state action;

17
00:00:33,918 --> 00:00:37,129
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

18
00:00:37,129 --> 00:00:37,932
a contract.

19
00:00:37,932 --> 00:00:40,741
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

20
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:43,551
Preserve every plan version,
signature, delivery receipt,

21
00:00:43,551 --> 00:00:45,558
authorization, revision,
and back-up strategy.

22
00:00:45,558 --> 00:00:48,368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
