Eligible Personal Care Option participants can choose the program option that best meets their assessed unmet needs. Funds follow each person as needed, with unmet needs assessed under state rule 19 CSR 30-81.030. This does not create benefits beyond those already allowed by statute.

The law provides $36.58 million for meals through Area Agencies on Aging and $19.53 million in additional agency distributions.
