Limits
The ID/DD Waiver and IDD Community Support Program are distinct. A program discussion does not prove eligibility, enrollment, authorization, provider readiness, schedule, or start. No universal participant-directed ID/DD Waiver option is asserted without current official consumer authority.
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.
