Purpose


The Agency for Persons with Disabilities (“Agency”) is updating these rules to conform with the changes to the § 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services Waiver agreement and the Developmental Disabilities Individual Budget Waiver Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, adopted by reference in Rule 59G-13.070, Florida Administrative Code. A new service is being added to the Agency’s Home and Community-Based Services Medicaid Waiver program (“iBudget Medicaid Waiver”) called Life Skills Development Level 4 - Prevocational Services. Prevocational services are services that provide learning and work experiences, including volunteer work, where the individual can develop general, non-job-task-specific strengths and skills that contribute to employability in paid employment in integrated community settings. The Regional iBudget Provider Enrollment Application and the Provider Expansion Request forms are being amended to include Life Skills Development Level 4 as well as make general improvements to the usability of the forms.
