All six Wyoming starting situations

JNY-WY-01

Not started or approaching school exit

Open the Wyoming HCBS Section intake, build the eligibility record, and connect school and rehabilitation.

Read the step-by-step guides
  1. Use Wyoming's current Supports Waiver application and submit it through the HCBS Section route.
  2. Organize diagnosis, onset, adaptive-function, and substantial-limitation evidence for Wyoming's developmental-disability determination.
  3. Coordinate school transition and Wyoming Vocational Rehabilitation without treating either as developmental-services approval.

JNY-WY-04

Choosing a delivery model, provider, worker, or start

Compare management options and close readiness gaps.

Read the step-by-step guides
  1. Compare traditional and participant-directed services without blending responsibilities.
  2. Use Wyoming's public provider search and directly verify capacity, fit, and participant-directed worker readiness.
  3. Separate payment references from the person's waiver funding opportunity and authorization, provider or worker readiness, and delivered service.

JNY-WY-05

A service decision is adverse or broader planning is needed

Use the correct appeal, benefits, housing, legal, or concern route.

Read the step-by-step guides
  1. Use the complete service notice and its exact grievance, review, or Wyoming Medicaid fair hearing sequence.
  2. Advance Social Security, housing-resource, and legal decision-support questions as separate tracks.
  3. Document the concern and use the provider, case manager, Wyoming HCBS Section, HCBS Section, or notice route that owns it.

JNY-WY-06

Urgent need, crisis, abuse concern, or service breakdown

Address safety, reporting, reassessment, and correction.

Read the step-by-step guides
  1. Use 911 for immediate danger, 988 for crisis support, and the regional crisis and service team for disability-service follow-up.
  2. Use Wyoming Adult Protective Services or law enforcement for suspected harm and separately correct developmental-service delivery.
  3. Document changed need, failed supports, or risk and request the exact waiting-list, funding-opportunity, plan, authorization, or provider correction.
