OPWDD is Changing the Way Services are Funded in New York State

As you may be aware OPWDD is changing the way services are funded in New York State. The new model is the 1115 Waiver, also known as the People's First Waiver. Changes will occur incrementally over the next 2-3 years. There are numerous forums providing families and providers with information regarding this system wide change. We highly recommend that you regularly visit the OPWDD website for up-to-date information.

Please note that QSAC and other providers are receiving these updates at the same time as you , therefore your service coordinators and other program staff will not have answers to questions. Again, we recommend you visit the OPWDD website.
