3 I. STATUS OF FEDERAL LITIGATION ENHANCE, INC. ET. AL. V. STATE OF MICHIGAN ET. AL. A. INTRODUCTION- Our office is representing several residential care providers and consumers in a federal lawsuit to prevent LARA from requiring adult foster care licensure of supported independent living sites where consumers receive personal care on a 24/7 basis. The case is before Judge Robert H. Cleland in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The case is entitled Enhance, Inc. et. al. V. State of Michigan et. al. Case No. 2:16-cv B. BACKGROUND OF THE DISPUTE i. At the beginning of 2016, several providers of community living support staffing at supported independent living sites received written notice from BCHS that, as a result of a special investigation, a license was required to continue providing services at those locations. ii. BCHS, in its reports, acknowledged that although the sites are leased by the clients who pay rent to third parties other than the staffing provider, a license is required where staffing is provided on a 24/7 basis. This is a reversal of the policy established by the State of Michigan over the last 40 years. iii. BCHS threatened circuit court action to enjoin the providers from continued service provision at these sites and invoked the criminal penalty provisions of the AFCFLA. iv. Four providers who received the written notice have joined together as named Plaintiffs in the lawsuit: Enhance, Inc., Innovative Lifestyles, Inc., Integrated Living, inc. and Life Center, Inc. v. Nine consumers also joined the lawsuit to protect their individual possessory rights to their own homes. vi. Several other providers, many of whom received similar notices from BCHS, and other interested stakeholders, have contributed financially to the litigation effort. Page 3
4 C. STATUS OF THE CASE i. Plaintiffs Complaint For Injunctive Relief was filed on May 24, 2016, seeking injunctive relief under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the ADA ); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act; the Fair Housing Amendments Act (the FHAA ); and the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. ii. On August 15, 2016, the Defendants State of Michigan, Gov. Snyder, and the Directors of LARA and BCHS filed a motion for dismissal and/or summary judgment arguing: 1) the providers lacked standing; 2) governmental immunity; 3) the issue was not ripe for review; and 4) that the federal court should abstain from deciding state policy. iii. While that motion was pending, amendments to the AFCFLA were introduced in the Michigan Legislature that would have provided that homes of four or less adults where staffing was funded through local community mental health agencies and where the providers did not own or lease the property would not be subject to licensure. iv. In light of the prospective amendment of the AFCFLA, the Court dismissed the State of Michigan s motion and placed a temporary stay on the case. v. In February, 2017, after the legislative session expired without passage of the AFCFLA amendments, the Court lifted the stay and the Defendants re-filed their motion for dismissal. vi. Plaintiffs have filed a response to the motion arguing that BCHS s threatened action: 1) jeopardizes the rights of the consumers to enjoy possessory rights to their homes including the right to hire and fire staff and to be free from intrusive state inspections; and 2) jeopardizes the right of providers to continue contracts to staff independent homes without entering into leases or purchasing the property and will result in economic harm. vii. Oral arguments are scheduled for June 7, The Court will hear the arguments at the federal courthouse in Port Huron at 2:00 pm that afternoon. II. STATUS OF NO FAULT INSURANCE PAYMENT MATTERS A. INTRODUCTION - The topic of Michigan s Auto No-Fault Law is red hot. A recent Michigan Court of Appeals decision is emboldening the insurance industry to deny payments to no-fault providers serving clients in settings that do not possess an adult Page 4
5 foster care license. B. SUMMARY BACKGROUND i. Keys of Life provides 24/7 personal care and attendant services to a traumatically brain injured person. This person resides in his own apartment. Keys of Life does not possess an adult foster care license for this apartment. ii. The services provided by Keys of Life incurred a bill in excess of one million dollars. Auto Owners Insurance Company refused to pay the bill. iii. Auto Owners argues that the services provided by Keys of Life were foster care and foster care services are tantamount to treatment under the No-Fault law. Since Keys of Life did not possess an adult foster care license, Auto Owners was not obligated to pay the bill because the No-Fault law requires treatment services to be licensed. iv. Keys of Life sued for payment in Wayne Circuit Court. The Court determined that foster care services were not treatment as defined in the No-Fault law. The Wayne Circuit court relied in part on the analysis of City of Livonia v. DSS which determined that foster care was residential in nature, not medical. v. On December 16, 2016, the Michigan Court of Appeals determined that all of the AFC elements were being provided to an individual in an apartment setting without a license. The Court of Appeals reversed the Circuit Court and held that AFC services were treatment as defined under the Michigan No-Fault Act MCL and The Court of Appeals held that the provider could NOT recover for unlicensed AFC services under the No-Fault Act. vi. Keys of Life has appealed the matter to the Michigan Supreme Court. The Supreme Court appeal is not obligated to accept the case on appeal. vii. Other insurance companies have begun using the Keys of Life ruling to deny No-Fault payments to service providers rendering personal/attendant care to individuals in settings that do not possess an adult foster care license. C. THE CRITICAL FLAW IN THE KEYS OF LIFE DECISION i. A single person setting is not REQUIRED to obtain an adult foster care license. Page 5
6 ii. An adult foster care facility is defined as a governmental or nongovernmental establishment that provides foster care to adults. MCL (4) iii. Foster care is a term defined as the provision of supervision, personal care, and protection in addition to room and board, for 24 hours a day, 5 or more days a week, and for 2 or more consecutive weeks for compensation. MCL (7). iv. The critical flaw was not argued in the Keys of Life case at the Circuit Court, Court of Appeals, or initial filings before the Supreme Court. v. An extraordinary motion to amend the application for appeal to the Supreme Court is pending. D. PRO-ACTIVE STEPS i. Structure care settings carefully when operating without an adult foster care license. ii. Defend against non-payment efforts appropriately and aggressively. While single person settings may obtain an adult foster care license, single person settings do not require an adult foster care license. III. STATUS OF UNIONIZATION MATTERS A. INTRODUCTION - Our office has represented the residential/vocational industry from the inception of union organization efforts. While sharing a desire to increase wages and benefits for the deserving workforce, employers must be mindful of their financial constraints. Additionally, the extensive regulations imposed by licensing and other regulatory and contractual agencies limit an employer s ability in labor matters. B. SUMMARY BACKGROUND OF THE UNIONIZATION EFFORT i. In 1985, the United Auto Workers (UAW) attempted to organize a non-profit mental health provider s workers. ii. The unionization effort began before the National Labor Relations agency. This action failed because federal labor law at the time prevented the NLRB from exercising jurisdiction over labor relations when a co-employer was a state or local government agency. The evidence in the case Page 6
7 demonstrated the extensive control exercised by the State of Michigan over the non-profit company s business. iii. In the late 1980s, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) organized approximately 35 non-profit mental health provider companies under Michigan s Public Employment Relations Act (PERA). AFSCME and the non-profit companies argued that the State of Michigan was a co-employer. After several years of litigation the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) ruled that the State was a co-employer and was required to participate in the collective bargaining talks. iv. Labor negotiations ensued for approximately one year until the NLRB issued a new decision changing its opinion to exercise jurisdiction over labor relations matters even though a state/local government may be a co-employer. v. The State of Michigan, under then Governor John Engler, amended PERA to specifically exclude mental health workers from coverage under the Act. vi. State court litigation proceeded to Michigan s Supreme Court. The Court upheld the State of Michigan s effort to remove itself from being considered a co-employer. vii. AFSCME then sought to maintain its status as the certified bargaining representative even though the State was now not a party to the labor matter. The non-profit providers filed suit in Federal Court arguing that the union elections were no longer valid because employees had voted to join the union believing there were two employers. In the absence of the State as an employer, new elections should be conducted. This legal matter took several years and was ultimately settled by the U.S. Supreme Court when it denied the appeal and allowed the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals matter to stand. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to allow the election results to stand. viii. Collective bargaining between AFSCME and several, but not all, non-profit companies commenced. ix. Over the course of the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, collective bargaining talks sputtered. AFSCME for unknown reasons failed to pursue the collective bargaining negotiations. Periodically, AFSCME resurfaces to inquire Page 7
8 about negotiations and then proceeds to re-enter a dormant state. x. Two other unions have successfully organized mental health workers. The Office and Professional Employees Union (OPEIU) and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) have also negotiated collective bargaining agreements on behalf of the mental health workforce. xi. Periodically these and other unions have engaged in organizing efforts in the residential/vocational care industry. In 2015, the SEIU s effort to organize a vocational provider was defeated. In 2016 our office is aware of several early stage organizing efforts. C. STATUS OF THE PRIOR UNIONIZATION EFFORTS i. AFSCME continues to be legally recognized as the certified bargaining agent for the workers organized in the 1980s and 1990s. ii. There are no active labor negotiations with AFSCME at this time. iii. There are a few collective labor agreements controlling labor relations for a small number of mental health providers. iv. The NLRB election procedures may undergo further change with the new administration. Currently union organization efforts and elections can happen very quickly. D. PRO-ACTIVE STEPS i. Employees have a federal law right to organize. ii. Do not Threaten, Interrogate, or Promise. iii. Listen to employee grievances. iv. Give employees an avenue to appeal management decisions. v. CRITICAL: Train management staff in the Dos and Don ts of Unionization in advance of any organizing activity. Page 8
9 IV. HANDLING DISCHARGES AND EVICTIONS A. INTRODUCTION At what point does a provider pursue legal action to evict a vulnerable adult?
