Description

People with disabilities who use Medicaid personal care assistance (PCA) services face unique barriers to planning and pursuing cross-state moves. Even when moving for opportunity, PCA program users must engage in additional forms of work to move without service delays or increased risk of institutionalization. We identify and describe six previously hidden forms of work undertaken by program users and discuss the implications of this work for systems change.
