NEW OPWDD BUDGET CUTS

May 27th

OPWDD announced new Budget Cuts

To the

The 1915(c) Medicaid Waiver Amendment

This will change the funding and availability of

Community Habilitation (Comm Hab)

& Residential Services

Any cut to state spending on Medicaid means double the impact

Because the Federal Government matches what the state spends.

There was no advance warning to stakeholders about this.
