If a consumer currently receives Waiver services through Disabilities Services Division (DSD), would they automatically be eligible for the expanded Family Care program?
Most of the time, people who are eligible for Waiver services like Community Options Program (COP) and Community Integration Program (CIP) are also eligible for Family Care. Each individual that currently receives Waiver services through DSD, however, would go through the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) and meet with an Options Counselor. The Options Counselor would administer the Functional Screen to re-determine functional eligibility. Financial eligibility would be determined by the Economic Support Division (ESD). If a person is Medicaid (MA) eligible, and passes the Long Term Care Functional Screen, they would be eligible for Family Care.
