To qualify for CFSS, you must meet the same requirements as for PCA, which includes:
• You cannot live in a nursing care facility
• Have the ability to direct care or have a representative direct care on your behalf
• You must already be enrolled in one of Minnesota’s health care programs: Medical Assistance (MA), an MA waiver, the Alternative Care program and some people on MinnesotaCare
• Obtain an assessment (formally a PCA assessment)
• You can not be using the Family Support Grant.
Note, if there are any changes in your condition, you may no longer be eligible for CFSS.
