As HCAG explains, many individuals who are in need of assistance find it intimidating to apply for aid due to the sheer breadth of services offered by the OPWDD. With its guide, HCAG seeks to simplify the process and break down the basic types of services offered by the Office to help those struggling with the process determine the right path forward for their unique circumstances.
The guide details the application and approval process in full, beginning with the initial assessment used by the OPWDD to determine the level of need. This first step requires extensive medical documentation of the disabled individual’s condition and care requirements, which HCAG encourages applicants to prepare ahead of time.
Once the assessment is completed, the formal application process can begin, which involves providing additional documentation and, often, statements regarding the applicant’s financial status. Later on in the process, applicants may be required to submit to an interview with an OPWDD assessor, or to other forms of evaluation.
After these criteria have been met and the application has been approved, the Office will work to create an ISP, or Individualized Service Plan. These plans are intended to offer a framework through which other forms of aid can be provided, and need to be continuously updated in collaboration with a care coordinator to ensure all needs are being met.
In the full guide, HCAG offers tips regarding how families should proceed after their ISP has been created, including what services may be available to them and how they can maintain their eligibility status. They focus on relief programs for caregivers, waiver programs for assistive technology, employment initiatives, and more.
Those interested in additional assistance in locating and applying for OPWDD programs should contact the Home Care Advisory Group at 212-540-2984. Their team offers personalized services for caregivers, service workers, legal professionals, and more in the interest of supporting the disabled community and those who care for them.
