Step by step

  1. Compare the current ISW and IDD waiver descriptions and services.
  2. Ask the care coordinator to document the applicable lane and current cost analysis using current FY2027 authority.
  3. Do not use the expired July 2024–June 2025 ISW cap shown on the consumer page as the current numeric limit.

Expected next

A documented waiver lane, current cost analysis, application step, request, or written decision.

Save this proof

DDRR choice, notice, current waiver and rate documents, analysis, owner response, and next event.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the care coordinator and IDD Unit to identify the controlling current waiver and rate authority.

Limits

ISW and IDD are distinct. The current consumer page still displays an expired 2024–2025 ISW cap; it is withheld as current numeric authority. A current rate chart is not an individual cost limit, plan, authorization, provider payment, staffing plan, or start date.

Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
