What does “greater than 5 hours”mean on Tier 2?
• This section of 393.0661 F. S. was modified for clarification during this legislative session to match up with APDs revised residential habilitation rate system. This criteria is now defined as Adults or children receiving standard Residential Habilitation at the moderate level or higher who do not meet the criteria for Tier 1, or Behavior Focus Residential Habilitation services at the minimal level or higher who do not meet the criteria for Tier 1. Someone receiving Live-in Residential Habilitation services in a licensed home of 3 or less people would also meet this tier requirement since “live-in” is considered 8 or more hours a day.
