The DHS Division of Medicaid Services has opened an application to all eligible Medicaid HCBS service providers to participate in the Workforce Improvement Provider Incentive Program as detailed in Arkansas’ American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), Section 9817 HCBS Spending Plan.

A lead individual within the organization should be appointed to coordinate the application process. Providers have until Friday, March 11, 2022 at 11:59PM CST to submit the application. Due to time restrictions related to the ARPA, Section 9817 legislation, DHS can provide no extensions to this date.

***Please Note: Providers that do not apply will NOT receive funds from the Provider Incentive Program.***
