Before you start

  • Full legal name, date of birth, Social Security or immigration document numbers, income, employer, and other health-insurance information.
  • The waiver-slot communication and any Medicaid or long-term-care forms requested by the support coordinator or eligibility worker.

Who to contact

Cover Virginia or the local Department of Social Services; the support coordinator tracks the waiver-related open items.

Step by step

  1. Apply through CommonHelp, Cover Virginia, the Insurance Marketplace, or the local Department of Social Services.
  2. Respond to every verification request by the stated deadline and retain delivery proof.
  3. Track the Medicaid Notice of Action separately from the DD waiver slot and service-plan decisions.

Expected next

DMAS says applications are generally determined within 45 days, or 90 days when a disability determination is needed, followed by a Notice of Action.

Save this proof

Application confirmation, case number, verification checklist, documents sent, delivery proof, and Notice of Action.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Call Cover Virginia or the local DSS to confirm the application and missing verifications; use the notice’s appeal route if denied.
