This amendment provides $8.7 million the second year from the general fund for Community Services Boards (CSBs) to hire additional support coordinators. CSBs are the single point of entry for waiver services and are the sole providers of waiver support coordination. Additional support coordinators are needed to handle the increased caseload due to the significant addition of DD waiver slots in the 2024-2026 biennium. This funding would support 96 additional support coordinators between the time they are hired and when they can carry a full caseload and begin billing Medicaid.
