Date: June 8, 2023

Attention: STAR Kids Providers providing Home and Community Based Services (HCBS)

Deadline for the attestation and reports was extended to August 9, 2023

Call to action: This notice is to inform Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Providers that Health and Human Services (HHSC) requires providers who deliver eligible HCBS services with service dates between March 1, 2022, and August 31, 2022, to submit an attestation, an initial report, and a final report. The attestation, initial, and final reports are due 90 calendar days after the end of the federally-declared COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), which expired on May 11, 2023.  The deadline for the attestation and reports was extended to Wednesday, August 9, 2023.

HHSC published IL 2023-18 related to HCBS ARPA attestation and reporting requirements.

How this impacts providers: The Attestation, Initial Report, and Final Report can be accessed on the HHSC Provider Finance Department Long-term Services and Supports website here. In addition, the Financial Management Services Agencies (FMSA) Templates, a FAQ document, a compliance list, and other information is available on the same website.

Next step for Providers: Qualifying providers should make every effort to complete the attestation and reporting requirements by the deadline of August 9, 2023.
