Waiver Enrollment Process

Once you have a Developmental Disability Determination from a Case Management Agency, you can begin the process of enrolling onto a waiver, including taking these steps:

 

• Be screened by an Intake Case Manager to ensure that you meet the targeting criteria for the waiver you are interested in

• Have it be determined by the county Medicaid office that you meet the waiver financial requirements by submitting a Medicaid application

• Be determined by the state to have a condition that meets the Social Security disability standard. This is done by applying for SSI/SSDI or by submitting the Medicaid Disability Application

• Complete an assessment with your Intake Case Manager to show that you need support with daily living activities

• Work with your case manager to complete an enrollment step specific to your waiver:

  • CES: Submit the CES application

  • CHRP: Complete the ICAP Assessment

  • C-HCBS: Complete the Third Party Review Process

  • SLS and DD: Complete the SIS Assessment

• Be assigned an ongoing Case Manager, who will work with you to pick out service providers and create a service plan

​

What does an ongoing Case Manager do?

 

• Develop an annual service plan that is specific to your needs

• Annually assess your needs to be sure you are in the right program

• Connect you to waiver services in your area

• Coordinate with your community resources

• Check in with you every three months to make sure your needs are being met
