Settlement Agreement – U.S. v. Colorado

The agreement was released on November 1, 2024. The Colorado Medicaid program agreed to improve access to community housing and supports for nursing home residents with physical disabilities. The Department of Justice lawsuit had alleged that the state unnecessarily segregated these individuals because it failed to provide them with services they need to live at home or avoid moving into a nursing facility. The state will start implementing the agreement on January 1, 2025. By August 31, 2027, the agreement monitor will submit a report on the state’s progress . . .
