Medicaid is a federal program that allows eligible individuals with low income to receive needed health-related services. Funding is made possible with a combination of federal and state dollars. Services are unique to each State approved under what is called a State Plan.
Home and Community-based Waivers are Medicaid funding that provides additional services and supports to eligible individuals, beyond what is offered through the State Plan, to help individuals to live in community settings of their choice with supports instead of an institution. Funding is made possible through a combination of federal, state, and local levy dollars.
