Part 2: Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Waivers

Each HCBS Waiver has different eligibility requirements. Generally, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Have the disability diagnosis that the waiver requires
  • Have Medicaid
  • Live at home or in the community 
  • Need a high level of care
  • Have needs that are addressed by the waiver services
  • Receive a waiver slot

Important Note: Once you receive a HCBS waiver slot, you must use a certain amount of those services on a regular basis to keep your waiver services.
