Description
|
Provides funds for five additional positions in the Individual and Family Supports Program. Pursuant to the settlement agreement with the federal Department of Justice (DOJ), the program was initially established as a cash benefit provided to a minimum of 1,000 individuals or families per year. The Independent Reviewer has interpreted the language of the agreement to require a more comprehensive program, stating in his reviews to the court that the Commonwealth is not complying with the agreement as the program is currently being run. The revamped IFSP will include staff in each region to help link individuals on the intellectual and developmental disability waitlists with available services and supports in their area. |
