Indiana federal judge reinstates attendant care wages for two mothers due to lower reimbursement rates in Structured Family Caregiving lawsuit.

A federal judge in Indiana has reinstated attendant care wages for two mothers caring for their medically frail sons, amid a lawsuit against the state’s transition to Structured Family Caregiving, which offers lower reimbursement rates. The judge's ruling mandates that these families continue receiving necessary care until in-home skilled nursing services are available. The ACLU of Indiana, representing the mothers, may expand the lawsuit to include additional families. No hearing date has been established yet.
