Arc and Children’s Waivers Up for Review & Comment
The Division of Developmental Disabilities asked that I share this information with you.
Tony
Two of the Medicaid Waivers operated by the Division of Developmental Disabilities are
scheduled for renewal this year. These two Waivers are:
The Children’s Support Waiver that secures federal matching funds for the
Children’s Home-Based Support Program for children, adolescents, and young
adults ages 3 through 21, and
Both Waivers expire on June 30, 2015; however, the federal Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) has granted three month extensions in order to give the State
additional time to secure and incorporate public comment.
Draft renewal applications for both of these Waivers are now posted on the Division’s
website at http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=45915. In addition, individuals
unable to access the Internet may view copies of the two renewal applications at their
local Independent Service Coordination agency.
The public comment period is for 30 days from May 29, 2015 through June 28, 2015.
Those interested in providing input are asked to email feedback to the HFS web portal
email address: HFS.SWTransitionPlan@illinois.gov; or mail their input to the Illinois
Department of Healthcare and Family Services, ATTN: Waiver Management, 201 South
Grand Avenue East 2FL, Springfield, IL 62763. All comments will be compiled by HFS
and shared with the Division of Developmental Disabilities.
