 Massachusetts Senate Bill 2764: An Act Relative to Rates for Human &
Social Service Programs
The bill proposes that the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and
Human Services set human service contract reimbursement rates on the
actual cost of providing the services. The rate setting process would
take into account the following factors:
-
Costs of government mandates
-
Inflation since the rates were last adjusted in 1987
-
Geographic wage differences in metropolitan statistical areas of the
commonwealth
If passed by the Massachusetts Legislature, the rate setting process
would begin in 2009 and would be gradually implemented through 2011.
Currently, the state's social service contracts are renewed at the 1987
reimbursement rates.
