Children’s Choice Waiver (OCDD-CC)
The OCDD-CC waiver provides supplemental support services to children who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, which meet the Louisiana definition for developmental disability, and who currently live at home with their families or who will leave a residential facility to return home. The OCDD-CC waiver is an option offered to children who meet the level of care requirements for ICF/IID. The age requirement is birth through age 20. Participants who reach age 18 and remain enrolled in school may continue to receive waiver services until their 21st birthday at which time they will transfer into an appropriate adult waiver as long as they remain eligible for waiver services. Participants currently receiving waiver services who reach age 18 and choose to no longer attend school may transition to a Supports Waiver anytime until their 21st birthday based on a person-center planning process. NOTE: Verification of school enrollment for beneficiaries aged 18 or older is not required. A beneficiary must choose to transition to a supports waiver and may do so at age 18 and when no longer attending school.
