Expanded eligibility criteria for the exception to CDCS budget methodology

The 2016 Minnesota Legislature amended legislation so that 2016 high school graduates who meet all other requirements are eligible for the exception to CDCS budget methodology for the disability waivers.

DSD updated the following documents to reflect this change:

• Briefcase resource document – Exception to CDCS budget methodology for disability waivers (PDF)
• Exception to CDCS budget methodology checklist, DHS-6633 (PDF).

These documents include more information about the exception and lead agency procedures.

For the amended legislation, see Laws of Minnesota 2016, chapter 144.
