DODD Waiting List Rule

Before you start

  • Most recent assessment and notice, current supports, changes in caregiver ability, residence, health or safety, failed services, incidents, hospital or crisis contacts, and requested response.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above or ask DODD to identify the responsible county board, service and support administrator, program office, or notice-specific contact.

Step by step

  1. Send a dated summary of what changed and when.
  2. Ask whether the waiting-list assessment or alternative-services plan must be updated.
  3. Request the written status, owner, and next review or action.

Expected next

An updated assessment, status explanation, service alternative, waiver-enrollment action, hearing notice, or documented next event.

Save this proof

Change summary, delivery proof, assessment versions, contacts, notices, and next review date.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask county-board management to identify the controlling waiting-list rule, current category, evidence considered, and hearing route.
