Which statement correctly describes payment when services exceed the SSP for Community Support Workers (CSWs)?

Payment is limited to the funded SSP hours. The SSP sets the amount of time for which a CSW can be paid within the approved plan, so any hours worked beyond that funded amount aren’t compensated. This isn’t about overtime—there isn’t additional pay for extra hours under this funding. If more support is truly needed, the plan or budget must be updated to authorize additional funds; otherwise, those excess hours remain unpaid. The payment isn’t decided by a supervisor; it follows the SSP terms and the approved plan. This structure helps keep funding aligned with what’s been authorized and planned.
