What is required when terminating a Support Broker Employment Agreement?

When a Support Broker Employment Agreement ends, the focus is on ensuring the participant’s ongoing support and a smooth transition to a new broker. The required approach is to give 30 days’ notice and actively help the participant find a new Support Broker. That 30-day window provides time to wrap up current duties, share necessary information, and allow the participant to select or interview a replacement without gaps in services. Shorter or longer notices without transition support don’t meet the same standard. Immediate termination with no notice risks disrupting services and violates the expectation of a managed transition. A 60-day notice with no stated transition assistance leaves the participant without a clear path to a new broker, potentially causing delays in getting needed supports. A 7-day notice is far too brief to ensure continuity or to help the participant locate a replacement. So, the best answer reflects maintaining continuity of supports through a defined notice period and active transition help.
