Update:  Proposed HCBS Lifespan Waiver Statewide

Stakeholder Informational Tour – Additional Zoom Sessions Added for Waiver Members and Their Families

Please join the Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) as we offer two additional question-and-answer Zoom sessions on the proposed Lifespan Waiver. These Zoom sessions will allow waiver members and their families to learn more about the proposed waiver concept.

We will begin each session with a brief high-level review of the Lifespan design and updates based on feedback from the Concept Paper comment period.

Please use the link below to register for the Zoom sessions. We are hosting two sessions with Waiver Members and their Families.

Dates/Times:

• Wednesday, September 27, 2023, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM
• Monday, October 2, 2023, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM

OADS also offers a series of in-person events across the state with Providers, Waiver Members, and their Family Members. Providers will be asked to attend the provider-specific sessions to promote active interaction. The meeting spaces have a person limit, and we want to house the meeting adequately, so we need to know how many people to expect. Meeting locations may change depending on the size of the response to the sessions. If that happens, we will notify registrants.
