This bill mandates the commissioner of employment and economic development to implement rulemaking that expands eligibility for the extended employment program. Specifically, it allows individuals on a medical assistance waiver to access extended employment services, irrespective of the specific waiver service they are receiving. To ensure proper documentation, participation in the program may require individuals to submit a form that verifies they are receiving distinct services from each program and that there is no overlap in reimbursement.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision for the commissioner to repeal a specific rule from Minnesota Rules, part 3300.6005, subpart 1, item B, which may streamline the eligibility criteria for the extended employment program. This legislative change aims to enhance access to employment services for individuals with disabilities, thereby promoting greater workforce inclusion.
