Question about workers comp and Home Services program and Home Based Program

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

I was asked a question this afternoon which I remember did come up on IPADDU a

while back...It was in regard to liability issues and respite workers. As I

recall, home owners policies would cover workers in our homes, though perhaps

that would not be all inclusive, especially considering that many PSW's take our

loved ones out into the community. Also, I am guessing that the DRS Home

Services Program works differently than the Home Based Support Services

Program, since there is a union involved with the DRS program...Anyone know for

sure?

Thanks.

Hi Ellen, my daughter's SLA is covered by her employer's liability insurance. I

don't know about families who use Acce$$ for their programs.

And 'SLA' stands for 'supported living assistant'? And what funding source pays

for that person?
