Q: What does a Financial Management Services Agency (FMSA) do?
A: An FMSA supports individuals who choose Consumer Directed Services (CDS) by managing payroll, taxes, and required documentation. In Texas, every CDS Employer must work with an approved FMSA. EAK CDS ensures all payments, filings, and records are accurate and compliant with HHSC standards.
Q: Why do I need an FMSA in Texas?
A: Because when you choose CDS, you become the employer — and with that comes responsibility. The FMSA takes care of the behind-the-scenes work like employment taxes, budget monitoring, and form submissions. That way, you can stay focused on choosing the right attendants and providing quality care.
Q: How does EAK CDS make this process easier?
A: We walk every employer through setup, enrollment, and employee onboarding. Our experienced team answers questions quickly, processes payroll efficiently, and keeps your account in good standing with HHSC.
