CMS has fully approved 48 states’ spending plans, 20 of which plan to use the funding to directly address waitlists.
The state allocated $36 million in 2021, which represented a seven percent increase in IDD funding—the largest budget increase in Kansas history for IDD waiver services.
Across the United States, there are over 800,000 individuals waiting for waiver services and the number grows each year. Additional funding from the American Rescue Plan could make a huge difference in access to services.
