Government would consider giving direct support professionals their own job category.
The government would consider creating a new job category for direct support professionals. This change would help states and the federal government better understand shortages and turnover rates for these workers. This could lead to more steady and tailored care for people with disabilities.
Today, direct support professionals do not have their own distinct job code in the government's classification system, making it hard to track their workforce and understand shortages. After this bill, the Office of Management and Budget would be required to consider creating a separate code for these professionals, which could lead to better data collection and understanding of their workforce needs.
