The question
What will show that support stays usable when North Carolina seeks to end court oversight and Outagamie County plans a program transition?
Background
North Carolina and DOJ seek to end court oversight of a community-living settlement. Outagamie County plans to end Supportive Home Care on Dec. 31 and move participants to other service plans.
The read
Pulse's bounded reading: a compliance finding and a planned funding-stream transition can each change the container for community care; the caregiver question is whether people retain usable support after the handoff.
What happens next
Will the federal district court grant the joint motion, and will Outagamie County's Dec. 31 transition leave participants with the same services?
What could change this read
A federal court ruling on the joint motion, or participant evidence after Outagamie's transition about service access, costs, or continuity with caregivers, could materially change this reading.
