| The Medicaid Waiver program is government-funded and provides financial support for services for individuals with disabilities. Financial eligibility for a Medicaid Waiver is based on the individual’s income and assets only, regardless of the age of the person with the disability. Other sources of income, such as those of the individual’s parents, are disregarded. Waivers are funded when a space or “slot” becomes available. A slot is an opening of waiver services available to a single individual. For both the MR/ID and the DD waivers, there are long waiting lists of persons who have already applied. It is important to put an individual on the waiting list even if no slots are currently available. |
