I'm not aware of that right now because of it being a policy from HRSD, but I would say that the compassionate care was a response to understanding that a lot of people are faced with aging parents or sick children and how to bridge them with a new benefit.

Generally, having worked in HRSD, I know there is a constant evaluation of programs and a constant thinking about what would be appropriate to respond to current circumstances.
