The key idea is that annual re-determination centers on renewing eligibility and service authorization by keeping the plan current and approved. The Support Broker’s minimum duty here is to complete the re-determination by updating the Service and Support Plan to reflect the person’s current goals, needs, and supports, and then submitting that updated plan to the Department of Health and Welfare for authorization. This step is essential because the SSP is the official document that the state uses to approve funding and services for the coming year; without updating it and obtaining DHW’s approval, services cannot continue.

Hiring direct support workers is typically a staffing decision managed outside the re-determination process. Quarterly reviews are part of ongoing monitoring rather than the one-time annual re-determination activity. Filing annual reports with the agency is a separate administrative requirement and not the core duty of completing the annual re-determination.
