Background The Jensen Settlement Agreement is the
result of a federal class-action lawsuit filed against the DHS in July 2009 alleging that residents of the former METO program were unlawfully secluded and restrained
Rather than a trial, in December 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota adopted a Settlement Agreement.
In 2012, Federal District Court Judge Donovan Frank appointed David Ferleger, Esq., as the court monitor

Comprehensive Plan of Action In August 2013, a Comprehensive Plan of
Action (CPA) was established
The CPA outlines the path DHS will take to come into compliance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
As part of the CPA, DHS agreed to establish a Jensen Implementation Team, which is responsible for management of this plan

CPA Requirements Specific to Class Members and the Therapeutic Follow-up Group
Although the requirements identified in Part II and Part III of the CPA apply to a broad range of people with disabilities, there are a number of requirements that are specific to class members and the therapeutic follow-up group
As we look ahead to the federal CMS changes related to home and community-base services (HCBS), many requirements that are currently specific to Class Members will in time apply to all people with disabilities receiving HCBS.
