The process to apply for Title XIX Waiver has changed. The application is to be completed and submitted to Charleston (the address at the bottom of the application). Within 5 days, the Charleston Office will contact the family with a list of psychologists who can complete the evaluation. A final determination will be presented to the family within 90 days.

You can download the application here in
MS Word or 
PDF formats (click desired icon).
