Waiver programs provide home and community-based services to support participants as they work toward individually defined life outcomes, self-determination, community living, socialization, and economic self-sufficiency. Each waiver must be renewed every five (5) years. All renewals and requests to make changes to waiver programs are made by submitting a Waiver Renewal or Amendment application to the Federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Track change documents for the renewal proposals will be available on each Waiver program’s dedicated page listed below on or before September 1st:
- Family Supports Waiver - Renewal 2023 dedicated page
- Community Supports Waiver - Renewal 2023 dedicated page
- Community Pathways Waiver - Renewal 2023 dedicated page
