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.
