RSA Compliance Toolkit
The Homecare Worker Rights Act of 2024 (HB39)
Starting January 1, 2026, the Homecare Worker Rights Act of 2024 will go into effect. Under the law, most of Maryland’s medical home care programs may only reimburse for personal assistance services if they are provided by an “employee” of the Residential Service Agency (RSA). Currently, many RSAs classify home care workers as independent contractors. Reclassifying an independent contractor to a W-2 employee involves ensuring compliance with state and federal laws before and after making the switch.
MNCHA is partnering with Pessin Katz Lawn (PK Law), a Baltimore-based law firm with practice expertise in labor & employment law and corporate & business law, to curate resources and professional expertise for RSAs who need assistance with worker reclassification. PK Law has compiled a compliance toolkit and educational webinars for Maryland RSAs looking to make this switch. MNCHA members receive a discount on the toolkit and retained hourly services.
