HB1562 amends the Department of Human Services Act to create a 5-year pilot program integrating occupational therapy into the State's home-delivered meals program. The program aims to train and employ workers with disabilities to assist Meals on Wheels drivers in delivering meals to homebound recipients. Workers must have an intellectual or developmental disability and meet specific eligibility criteria. The Department of Human Services will award grants to community agencies for this purpose. The program includes annual surveys to assess participant satisfaction and benefits.
