Before you start

  • Developmental history, diagnostic reports, cognitive and adaptive evidence when relevant, daily-intervention needs, 24-hour plan needs, habilitation needs, health and safety risks, school records, and current supports.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the responsible county or Tribal Nation, the assigned case manager, or the exact contact on the controlling notice. Disability Hub MN can help identify the route.

Find the responsible county or Tribal Nation human-services route

Step by step

  1. Index every evaluation and the functional need it documents.
  2. During MnCHOICES and waiver screening, describe daily interventions, 24-hour planning, habilitation, and supports beyond the Medical Assistance state plan.
  3. Answer records requests and preserve the exact evidence used for each determination.

Expected next

An assessment, records request, developmental-disability or related-condition determination, level-of-care result, or written notice.

Save this proof

Evidence index, evaluations, assessment records, submissions, requests, and notices.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the lead agency to identify the exact unmet criterion and evidence it relied on; use the notice-specific appeal route if adverse.
