FSSA Suddenly Forced a Waitlist on Aged and Disabled Waiver Services. Indiana Residents Need Your Help to Reverse This Decision.
Medicaid budget mismanagement has led to a major shortfall in available funds for recipients of the Aged & Disabled (A&D) Waiver. The result is a newly instated waiting list, suddenly leaving thousands of vulnerable Indiana residents to fend for themselves.
Despite meeting all requirements for the A&D Waiver, families across the state have been denied access to the funds they need to access critical care services. From assisted living to in-home nursing, our fellow citizens are faced with tough choices about how to pay for care that they simply can’t afford.
