IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR FAMILIES

As of January 22, 2013 The Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) officially adopted a new rule mandating MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY in order to receive services through DDD for adults age 21 and over.  The rule adoption is also in preparation for DDD's Supports Program and move toward fee for service.

Individuals who are currently DDD eligible must obtain Medicaid eligibility or services may be discontinued.  If you have questions regarding this information please contact your DDD casemanager directly.
