Description
The Supports for Community Living (SCL) Waiver Branch of the Division of Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (DDID) provides staff support for and oversight of the Supports for Community Living waiver program. The SCL waiver program is a home- and community-based program funded by the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services and administered by DDID.
The SCL waiver program was developed for Kentucky citizens as an alternative to institutionalization. The focus of SCL is to allow a person to remain in or return to the community and to build and live a good life. Eligibility for enrollment in the SCL waiver program requires that a person with an intellectual disability or related conditions meets the level of care requirements for an Intermediate Care Facility for persons with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID), and Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Application to the SCL waiting list requires completion of an application and submission of required documentation. Application can be done in two ways:
- By helping someone create an account in kynect benefits (https://kynect.ky.gov/benefits/s/?language=en_US) and helping the person complete the application.
- For CMHCs and case management providers, by completing and submitting the application in the Medicaid Waiver Management Application (MWMA) using their logins. Utilize the Integrated Waiver Application-Initiation and Management Reference Guide in the TRIS training portal for instructions.
