County and Tribal Nation human-services directory

Before you start

  • Identity and residence information, diagnostic and developmental records, functional-needs summary, current supports, risks, Medical Assistance status, school-exit date, and representative documents.

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. Use the official directory to identify the county or Tribal Nation human-services office; do not infer Tribal jurisdiction.
  2. Ask to apply for the Developmental Disabilities Waiver and request the required assessment and determination steps.
  3. Save the intake contact and ask which diagnostic, level-of-care, disability-certification, and Medical Assistance items remain.

Expected next

A local intake, assessment scheduling, records request, referral, or written decision.

Save this proof

Intake confirmation, contact details, records supplied, assessment date, requests, and written notices.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Call Disability Hub MN at 866-333-2466 and ask it to help identify the responsible local route; ask the agency to confirm ownership in writing.
