Waiver
Application & Enrollment
Process
Complete an Assessment
Packet with Your County Board of Developmental Disabilities
When you apply for waiver services, begin by contacting and meeting with your County Board of DD. Board of DD staff will assist you with an intake process, including completing an assessment packet that helps determine your level of eligibility. The County Board will then submit your assessment packet to DODD to review and make a determination for eligibility.
Maintaining Your Eligibility
Your waiver eligibility and level of care must be renewed annually, which you will also do through your County Board. In addition, once enrolled on a waiver, you must meet Medicaid eligibility requirements every month to continue waiver services.
DODD Reviews Your Waiver Application
The Eligibility Unit in DODD’s Division of Medicaid Administration reviews the assessment packet you complete and submit through your County Board of DD. The Unit reviews the packet and uses the information to determine eligibility for waiver services, and will report determination back to the County Board. Your County Board will then work with you to begin enrollment in waiver services.
