Some say those restrictions leave them in fear of financial ruin and possibly even homelessness. The PPCG pays parents to provide in-home care to their own children, but only if they require “extraordinary care” above and beyond typical parenting tasks. The rules put a strict ban on payment for what is called attendant care supervision services for children younger than 10 years old. “Why weren’t we alerted and why wasn’t there more transparency around (the new limits on care hours)?” Thorne asked. He added that, without Hobbs on their side, families who rely on DDD services would have seen devastating cuts and the complete elimination of the PPCG program.
