EVV requirements for Safe at Home program

Effective Jan. 1, 2025, DHS will require providers to follow the instructions below for all people enrolled in the Safe at Home program who use EVV:

· Record the person’s Safe at Home P.O. Box address as their legal address in all EVV systems.

· Use the person’s Safe at Home P.O. Box address as the location for all services delivered, regardless of location.

· Register all phone numbers used for telephony in the EVV system to the person’s Safe at Home P.O. Box address.

For complete instructions, refer to CBSM – EVV Safe at Home process.

We worked closely with the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State to make these changes to ensure the Safe at Home program works for people who use EVV.
