West Virginia IDD Waiver
Changes are being suggested that would affect the services for caregivers of an individual with disabilities. These changes will put limitation on how many hours can be billed for an individual per week. Our families struggle to get and retain suitable care givers and this will limit it even more.
Why is this important?
We want to start this petition to show the state that we are concerned about the proposed changes to West Virginia IDD Waiver Manual that limits any person from working more than 40 hours a week with a waiver participant. This will affect our families by limiting care givers even more and in turn affect the individual by not having enough consistent staff.
