In 2014, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released new federal rules requiring residential services and day services to meet new requirements. Many services people receive are paid for with state and federal money from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Therefore, California must comply with what is called the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Final Rule. This rule sets requirements for the places where people live or receive services. The Final Rule says that settings must be integrated and support full access to the community. Each state has until March 2023 to help providers comply with the CMS requirements. For more information regarding the HCBS Final rule, please visit DDS’s website at https://www.dds.ca.gov/initiatives/cms-hcbs-regulations/.
Welfare and Institutions Code section 4519.2(b) requires each regional center to post information related to HCBS Final Rule compliance on its website. This information is to be updated at least every six months until DDS has determined that statewide compliance with the HCBS Final Rule has been met.

California law and regulation requires that regional centers display on their Web sites information about the dollar value of services they purchase for clients. These data (called "purchase of service" or "POS" data) must be reported separately by clients' ethnic/racial group, langauge and diagnosis.
