his community and (ii) developing a plan of support for such person to guide the
person in selection of the best waiver program for his needs.

B. The Department shall establish a process to enable a person who transitions
from a Home and Community-Based Services waiver program to the Medicaid Works
program to retain his Home and Community-Based Services waiver slot for up to
180 days following the date of such transition.

C. The Department shall establish a process to give priority to individuals
previously receiving services through the Home and Community-Based Services
waiver program who transitioned to the Medicaid Works program and who
subsequently seek to resume services through the Home and Community-Based
Services waiver program.
