(Richmond)- $300 million has been added to Governor Youngkin’s proposed budget to fund priority one waiver slots for Virginians with developmental disabilities and those who are on the current waitlist. Youngkin’s office says there are currently over 3,400 Virginians on the priority one waiting list for Medicaid Home and Community-Based Developmental Disability waiver slots.
Developmental disability waivers offer support and services to both children and adults on Medicaid. The services differ based on the individual’s need and the program criteria.
