Waiver Programs

 

Waivers provide services that are partially paid by the federal government. In order for your services to be paid for through a waiver, you must meet specific Medicaid waiver eligibility guidelines through the Division of Public Assistance and Level of Care through DSDS. This level of care means the applicant needs the same services that would be provided in an institution serving people with mental retardation and developmental disabilities, or a nursing home.

If a person meets the strict disability guide lines, his or her income is separated from the family’s income, thus making him or her eligible for Medicaid and other support services.

The purpose of waivers is to keep individuals with disabilities in their home communities and out of institutions, hospitals, and nursing facilities.
