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.
