Supports Waiver (S.W.)
The Supports Waiver (S.W.) program provides services in the home and in the community to individuals 18 years of age or older, who are eligible to receive OCDD waiver services.
* This program is not intended to provide 24 hours a day support.How Can People Request an OCDD Waiver?
Home and community-based waiver opportunities will now be provided based on the individual's prioritized need for support, which was identified in their RFSR Screening for Urgency of Need. Instead of being first come, first served, individuals with the most emergent and urgent need for support will have priority.
Individuals who have a need for services should contact their local Human Services District/Authority in order to go through the eligibility determination process.
