LeadingAge Minnesota has joined with 20 other affiliated organizations, together representing hundreds of not-for-profit aging services providers across the country, in a lawsuit to overturn the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services’ (CMS) staffing mandate. The mandate creates an untenable situation for senior care facilities across Minnesota and throughout the country.

Led by LeadingAge Iowa, LeadingAge Kansas, and LeadingAge South Carolina, alongside other state affiliates, the suit filed on October 8th in the United States District Court’s Northern District of Iowa seeks a preliminary injunction in an effort to overturn the mandate itself.
