What is the broker's main responsibility during plan updates?

During plan updates, the broker must ensure changes are fully documented and processed according to policy, escalate issues through the proper channels when disagreements arise, engage mediation when needed to resolve conflicts, and verify that the updated plan still reflects the participant’s goals, preferences, and approved services and budget. This creates a clear, auditable trail and keeps the plan compliant while protecting the participant’s rights. Changes should involve consent and collaboration rather than unilateral actions, and should not be delayed for audits or implemented by removing services without proper consent.
