What this means for your family
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.
