ADVOCACY WORKS!

On April 29, 2020, DDD announced a temporary wage increase of $3/hour for DSPs, effective May 1, 2020 through July 21, 2020. Although 21 Plus was permitted to deduct the employer’s responsible taxes from the $3 increase, as well as distribute as a bonus, we have opted to include as a temporary hourly increase. This is in addition to the $1/hour crisis stipend we had implemented as of March 20, 2020, rather than including that as part of the $3/hour.
