Excellence in SBAP Personal Care Services

These districts led the state in identifying and claiming SBAP-eligible personal care services. By systematically identifying staff eligible to be counted as providing personal care services and ensuring those individuals held the proper certifications, these districts generated hundreds of thousands of dollars — and in some cases millions of dollars — in personal care reimbursement.
