ANCOR is pleased to announce the re-release of a Sample Shared Living Contract designed to be used as a template by providers entering into certain shared living arrangements, often called adult foster care or host homes.
This sample contract was originally developed by attorneys Petruccelli, Martin & Haddow, LLP, a Maine Law Firm, utilizing general contract law without regard to the specific requirements of local law in different State jurisdictions, with the assistance of the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS) and ADvancing States. The sample contract and accompanying guidance memo have since been reviewed by attorneys at Petruccelli, Martin & Haddow, LLP to consider recent changes to federal regulation. After further analysis, it was determined the original sample contract remains consistent with current regulation although the materials have been updated for clarification and additional guidance.
The following sample contract is designed to conform with the changes made to 29 C.F.R. 795 “Employee or Independent Contractor Classification under the Fair Labor Standards Act” effective March 11, 2024, and with guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Labor. The sample is not designed to conform with the laws and regulations of individual States, or differences in state plans. It also does not address federal issues not connected to the classification guidance for FLSA. Paragraph 6 is a placeholder for specific provisions relating to other federal requirements and all state requirements. Neither the Sample Contract nor this memorandum can be relied on as legal advice or tax advice.
