The EW service cost for an individual cannot be greater than the estimated nursing home cost for that same individual. Probable alternatives include Medicaid certified skilled nursing facilities and certified boarding care homes. The EW program is described in Minnesota Statutes 256B.0912 and 256B.0915 . To find out if you are eligible for the EW program, contact your county Social Services office. 1 Data presented here differ from DHS Budget Forecast numbers because the latter are based on date of payment and the former are based on date of service.
