Consumers and PCAs who live together “permanently” or for an “extended period of time” do not need to use EVV with each other.

• Definition of “permanently:” The PCA lives, works, and sleeps at the same home as the Consumer-employer seven days per week, and therefore, has no home of his or her own other than the one in which the Consumer-employer lives.
• Definition of “Extended period of time:” The PCA lives, works, and sleeps at the same home as the Consumer-employer for five days a week (120 hours or more). If the PCA spends less than 120 hours per week working and sleeping at the same home as the Consumer but spends five consecutive days or nights per week residing together with the Consumer, this is also considered an “extended period of time.”

Live-in Exemption forms can only be submitted after you receive you EVV Start packet. Early forms will be rejected. 

If you think you are eligible for the Live-In Exemption, use the form provided in your EVV Start packet or you can request one from Tempus FI. Completed Live-In Exemption forms need to be sent back to Tempus FI. Eligible Consumers and PCAs must submit a new Live-In Exemption form every year.

Live in exemption approval expires when a PCA Consumer relationship is terminated. If the PCA starts working again for the Consumer, a new exemption request will need to be submitted for review/approval.

Please read through the entire form before signing it. Incomplete or incorrect forms will not be processed.

The EVV safety exemption applies to Consumers/PCAs who would otherwise be required to use EVV who have concerns about significant and active harassment, domestic violence, stalking or other safety concern that rise to the level of needing official intervention.

 The purpose of the EVV safety exemption is to protect the confidentiality of a Consumer’s address in one of the following situations:

1. Active officially authorized or ordered protection, such as a restraining order or similar order issued by a court such as a harassment order, or other authorized protection service or official designation of confidentiality. Note the safety exemption only applies for the period of the order or authorized designation.
2. Active part of the address confidentiality program through the Secretary of the Commonwealth.

 Please note, the safety exemption is only temporarily active and will expire after a certain period of time. Once the situation no longer applies (e.g., the restraining order expires), the safety exemption no longer applies and you should contact Tempus FI to onboard to EVV.

If you think you qualify for the Safety exemption, contact the Tempus FI Safety Liaison at [email protected] or call Tempus at 1-877-479-7577 from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. EST and request to speak with the Safety Liaison.
