* Employers rely on Medicaid reimbursement from WV DHHR to pay direct care staff. The hope is that by presenting the state with concrete data demonstrating that a wage increase gets staffing vacancies filled, the state will increase Medicaid reimbursement rates & the special introductory wage can become the ongoing wage.
