Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Waiver (IDDW) Medicaid Waiver Program
The Title 19 Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Waiver (IDDW) is a federally mandated home and community-based services program designed to support individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities by providing instruction, training, supervision, and assistance. This program plays a crucial role in fostering community integration and preventing institutionalization, offering a wide range of services tailored to individuals' needs regardless of diagnosis or functioning level.
To qualify for the IDD Waiver program, individuals must meet specific criteria, including:
- Meeting medical and financial eligibility
- Being at least three years old, and opting for Home and Community-Based services over institutional care.
Upon meeting these requirements, individuals or their families can submit an application to CCIL, which will be forwarded to the state for review. The eligibility process involves an Independent Psychological Evaluation, medical assessment, and financial evaluation, ensuring that those in need receive the necessary support to thrive in their communities.
