Waiver program enables severely disabled individuals to be cared for at home, or includes those that are institutionalized and/or at risk of institutionalization, and be eligible for Medicaid based on the individual’s income alone. Without the waiver, the income of legally liable relatives is counted when the individual is cared for at home. There is a long waiting list for this program; however, families of severely disabled individuals who want to care for their family member at home are encouraged to add their name to the waiting list.
