Contracted Workers, Subcontracts, and Volunteers
Sets the conditions for using anyone other than an Agency employee to deliver or support care: subcontracts only during staff shortages, meeting the same standards, with MMAC approval where required; never subcontracting the registered nurse's required duties; a signed agreement for every contracted direct care worker; E-Verify assurances from subcontractors; and the written plan for volunteers.
