Paperwork is doing the cutting: testimony saved Ohio's paid family caregivers, but Minnesota's revalidation screen, the new work-rule documentation, and a 2032 solvency clock are removing care by form and deadline.
Background
Testimony from disabled families stopped one fraud-crackdown provision in Ohio while the machinery around it kept cutting: Minnesota terminated 60 percent of providers over paperwork, CMS made the 80-hour work rule official with Nebraska already running it, and Social Security's trustees set a 2032 deadline that prices every caregiver fix against solvency.
