  • meeting specific measurable benchmarks in expanding individual integrated employment and reducing subminimum wage work, congregate setting work, or facility-based day habilitation placements for working-age individuals with a disability receiving Medicaid-funded home or community-based services; and
  • taking other actions conducive to expanding employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities within the state.
