The Medicaid Waiver Waitlist
The Agency for Persons with Disabilities maintains a statewide waiting list of individuals requesting services under its Developmental Disabilities Home and Community-Based Services Waiver. The number of individuals added to the waiver each year depends upon several factors. The factors that affect enrollment include:
- Funding availability
- Legislative requirements
- People in crisis have first priority
- Children in the Child Welfare System are given second priority
As funding becomes available, the agency will enroll people from the waitlist.
