The key idea is that time spent by a Support Broker is paid when it directly supports the participant’s planning, decision-making, and delivery of services. Meeting with the employer and circle of support is a direct coordination activity that ensures the plan matches the participant’s needs and preferences, so it’s billable. Helping the participant fill out the My Voice My Choice Workbook is part of enabling them to express choices and shape their plan, which is foundational to self-directed supports and thus billable. Researching and calculating rates for services and goods helps determine what can be funded and how to allocate resources in the plan, which directly supports implementing the participant’s services and is billable.

Attending unrelated training is not tied to the specific participant’s plan or immediate supports, so it isn’t paid time under the Support Broker arrangement. It may be valuable for the broker’s professional development, but it doesn’t directly benefit the participant’s plan.
