Waiver transition plan and updates

In September 2022, FSSA announced two HCBS waivers, the Traumatic Brain Injury waiver and the Aged & Disabled) waiver (for individuals ages 59 and under), will transition oversight from the Division of Aging to the Division of Disabilities and Rehabilitative Services. The plan has not changed for coverage of A&D waiver members ages 60 and over via FSSA's MLTSS plan in 2024. This is part of an effort to enhance the delivery of services to our members. Transition work is in the planning stages, and currently all waiver members will continue to receive services exactly as they do today. More information is available in the following FAQs:
