Written from the official pages cited at the bottom of this page. Where the official page is silent, so are we.

What is this?
APD states the iBudget Florida Waiver is its most traditional pathway to services: a Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver designed specifically for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Why does it matter?
This is the main long-term support funding route in Florida for people with developmental disabilities, and it is reached through one application rather than a separate waiver form.
How does this connect to the rest of the manual?
Eligibility for this waiver runs through APD eligibility, so the developmental disability definition in section 393.063(12), Florida Statutes applies here too.
