On March 24, 2025, the Department of Health (DOH) issued guidance regarding the payment of wages to Personal Assistants (PAs) in the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) for hours worked in April 2025 during a newly granted “grace period” for consumers and personal assistants who have not registered with PPL as of April 1, 2025. The policy outlines the conditions under which retroactive payment will be authorized and the process for issuing such payments once all required onboarding steps for PPL are fulfilled.
