The 8-page, full-color brochure explains Elderly Waiver (EW) topics, such as:
- How to apply for the Elderly Waiver (EW) program
- The requirement to have a certain level of need for services
- Financial eligibility requirements
- Income and asset protection for a married spouse
- Rules about transferring assets to family members
- Choosing services and providers, such as assisted living providers
- What EW services other than assisted living may be available
- What EW participants can expect while on the program, including how to stay eligible to receive services.
Lead agencies, assisted living providers, and others who work with older adults and their families are encouraged to share this information widely.
