What is the maximum number of hours a Support Broker can be paid per week?

Support brokers are paid for coordinating and overseeing a participant’s self-directed services, including planning, hiring and supervising workers, and navigating administrative tasks. The policy sets a weekly cap of 40 paid hours for a broker, ensuring the broker’s time stays focused on coordination and oversight rather than extended direct service provision. Because of this limit, paying for more than 40 hours per week isn’t permitted under standard rules. If a participant needs more support, that additional time would come from direct-support staff or other approved mechanisms, not from the broker’s pay beyond the cap.
