Eligibility is based on child’s income and resources, not parents’. You can only be on one waiver program at a time but you can be on both waiting lists. For each individual, services are planned based on an identified need for services. When services through resources other than the waiver are available to meet an identified need, those services must be used first. Waiting lists are years long. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU GET ON BOTH LISTS.
