The Indiana Bureau of Disabilities Services (BDS) is planning to create new home and community-based service waivers to improve services. This is known as the “waiver reset.”
In 2027, BDS plans to move people accessing services on the current four waivers into the new waivers. BDS is still working on figuring out what the new waivers will be like.
To help, BDS has been working with the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI) to host conversations about what changes are needed. Based on the feedback received, HSRI will develop recommendations for the waiver reset.
During the December 5 call, HSRI will provide an overview of the waiver reset, answer questions, and listen to feedback from the community about suggested changes to the waivers.
