X-WR-CALDESC:In April 2024\, the federal government finalized a set of regu
 lations known as the HCBS Access Rule. The Rule establishes new protection
 s for HCBS participants and applicants\, including requirements related to
  waitlists\, service planning\, grievances\, critical incidents\, quality 
 measures\, and participant involvement in setting state policy.\n\nStates 
 must implement the HCBS Access Rule from 2025 through 2029\, with the spec
 ific deadline varying depending on the requirement. For example\, the Rule
  requires that each state develop an HCBS grievance system by July 2026.\n
 The webinar will explain each major provision of the Access Rule\, with em
 phasis on the important work that needs to be done within individual state
 s to best promote beneficiary health\, safety and well-being. States are –

 e that implementation is meaningful and participant-focused.\n\nWho Should
