  1. Transition Information Fact Sheets

HOW can I apply?

In order to apply, you need to fill out a waiver application. Your DDS Area Office can help you and can discuss the timing of your application. DDS will conduct an assessment of your needs, assign you a priority for services, and send you a letter to let you know if you are eligible for one of the waiver programs.
