1915(i) State plan Home and Community-Based Services

1915(i) State plan Home and Community-Based Services provides recovery management, individualized placement and supported employment, and peer recovery support to Ohio residents aged 21 and older with disabilities living in home and community-based settings.

Eligibility

• Household income at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Level
• Care recipient must have a qualifying disability

How to apply

• Any individuals may request screening in the 1915(i) program and contact the state for information about 1915(i) eligibility and the process to apply; there is no wrong door — the Single Entry Points (SEP), any provider or Medicaid managed care plan, or the individual may initiate a referral. Enrollment occurs on the date all programmatic and financial criteria are met; once the eligibility determination is completed, a notice is sent by ODM to the applicant, and services on the initial person-centered plan may begin immediately following approval of that plan; there is no retroactive eligibility. An individual who is receiving the 1915(i) benefit cannot be concurrently enrolled in another HCBS authority, such as a 1915(c) waiver
