The Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act was enacted as Title VIII of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), P.L. 111-148 (Mar. 23, 2010), which amended the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. section 201 et seq., by adding the CLASS Act as Title XXXII. The law was designed to establish a voluntary, national insurance program for American workers to help pay for long-term services and supports they may need in the future. The CLASS program seeks to help enrollees live independently in the community and to give them considerable freedom to determine the necessary services and supports they purchase with their coverage. By statute, CLASS benefits must be funded entirely through enrollee premiums; there is no taxpayer subsidy. Appendix A includes a description of the Act that was prepared by the CLASS Office to guide their work.
