As an enrolled Participant in the NOW or COMP Waiver Program, you will be using Public Partnerships, LLC (PPL) as your Financial Support Services (FSS) Provider to pay your Self-Directed Employees. Once you and your Employees review, sign, and complete all paperwork and enrollment requirements, PPL will assume responsibility for processing payments to your workers, on your behalf, as they deliver services to you. PPL also supports you, the Employer, by assuming responsibility for managing tax filings on your behalf. Medicaid funds are used to pay for these services. In order to be enrolled in the program and set up as an Employer, you will need to complete the forms enclosed in this packet and return them to PPL. PPL will use these forms to issue paychecks to your Employees, withhold taxes, and file tax deposits on your behalf with the appropriate Federal and state government agencies. Below is a summary of the enclosed tax forms. PPL and DDD are committed to providing you as much support as possible; however, we must adhere to Federal and state employment and tax laws. Therefore, all the forms have to be signed and returned to PPL before paychecks are issued to your Employees. We understand that the forms are technical, so please call us tollfree at if you have any questions. FORMS TO COMPLETE AND RETURN SIGNED TO PPL 1.

2 What is my role as an Employer? What is PPL s role in the process? Self-directed services allow you to use your NOW or COMP Waiver funds to hire your own staff to deliver services to you. You are the Employer and PPL is your agent. Below is a brief summary of both your role and PPL s. As an Employer, you will: Recruit, hire, and fire all Employees Establish performance expectations for each Employee Evaluate each Employee based on performance expectations and task completion Establish schedules and tasks to be completed by each Employee Monitor your use of authorized services with reports provided by PPL Approve Employee timesheets As your Fiscal Agent, PPL will: Issue paychecks to Employees semi-monthly with the receipt of properly completed, signed timesheets Withhold State and Federal taxes for each Employee File monthly, quarterly, and annual forms and tax deposits with State and Federal agencies Issue W-2 Statements to each Employee in January Provide reports to you on a monthly basis Answer all questions that you and your Employees have about enrollment, timesheets, and payments Help you and your Employees with the enrollment process through the Customer Service Center Arrange to purchase worker s compensation insurance to cover your Employees, if you have three or more Employees working for you at one time. Who is responsible for submitting timesheets to PPL? It will be the responsibility of the Participant to submit timesheets directly to PPL. It is your responsibility to see that timesheets are completed properly by your Employees, signed by both you (and your Representative) and your Employee, and submitted to PPL in a timely manner. Do my Employees have to complete paperwork too? Yes. Employees must complete a separate PPL Employment Packet for each Employer/Participant who employs them, even if the Employers live in the same home. Why do I need to sign the USCIS Form I-9 for my Employee? Federal law requires all Employers to complete the I-9 with their Employees. The USCIS Form I- 9 certifies that your Employee is eligible to work in the United States. Your Employee will bring the I-9 to you. You must verify the Employee s identity by confirming that all verifications required were presented to you. You must not sign the I-9 unless you have seen official PPL s Financial Support Services (FSS): Introduction Letter & Instructions, Page 2 of 4

3 documents which confirm their identity. You are not required to validate the authenticity of documents, but you must view them before signing. Will I be required to pay for services out of my own pocket? No. All payroll related expenses are paid using Medicaid waiver funds. This includes Employee wages and taxes, Employer payroll taxes, and unemployment insurance. Will I ever receive letters from the IRS and Department of Revenue? Yes; however, PPL will handle these for you. Now that you are an Employer, you may receive letters and forms from the IRS, Georgia Department of Revenue, and/or Georgia Department of Labor and Workforce Development. PPL does not receive all of these mailings because you are the Employer of Record with the taxing agencies. Any time you receive documents from the IRS or Department of Revenue, please mail these directly to PPL, and we will respond to the taxing agencies accurately and in a timely manner on your behalf. What taxes are withheld for each of my Employees? All Employees must pay taxes. PPL will withhold Social Security, Medicare (FICA), and Federal and state income taxes from each Employee s paycheck. A summary of all Employee tax withholdings will appear on their paycheck stub. PPL will prepare and mail a W-2 Wage Statement to each Employee in January. Do Employers pay taxes too? As your agent, PPL will handle all Employer taxes for you. These tax payments are made with your Medicaid funds through the waiver. Employers must match each Employee s Social Security and Medicare (FICA) contribution with their Medicaid funds. In addition, program funds must pay Federal and state unemployment insurance contributions for each Employee. Additional Information It is important that you have some additional information to perform your role as Employer. Enclosed are several documents for your information. 1) PPL Timesheet and Instructions: A signed timesheet will authorize PPL to issue a paycheck to your employees. All timesheets must be signed by both the Employee and you. Properly completed and signed timesheets can be submitted to PPL by fax, mail, or online. Paychecks are issued following a semi-monthly schedule. The enclosed instructions provide a How-To for your workers to follow when completing their timesheets. 2) Service Types and Codes: These sheets list the services codes to be used on timesheets. There is one sheet for the NOW Waiver and one for the COMP Waiver. You should only use the service codes that apply to your wavier.

You and your Employees should become familiar with this schedule so that you both know when payment can be expected. 4) Cost to You Sheet: This chart helps you decide how much to pay your employees based on the cost of the wage to you as the employer. The employer cost is the amount that will come out of your Plan of Care. This is the employee wage plus the taxes you are required to pay as an employer, which PPL pays on your behalf. 5) Workers Compensation Information: This sheet explains how Workers Compensation works in this program and will help you understand if you need to obtain any coverage. 6) Notice of Discontinued Employment: This form should be completed any time an Employee who you have hired under the NOW or COMP Self-Directed service option is no longer delivering services to you. You will need to submit a signed copy of this form to PPL indicating the reason for ending the employment relationship. 7) Requisition Invoice: This form should be completed and returned to PPL when you wish to make a purchase of goods or services as outlined in your Plan of Care.
