FAQ
Minnesota developed Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers to meet the needs of people who choose to receive services and supports in their home or community, rather than in an institutional setting.
What is a Waiver Program?
Waiver programs help people with disabilities or older adults live in the community instead of a nursing home. These programs provide access to essential care and services if certain criteria are met.
What’s Not Covered by a Waiver?
Waivers do not cover:
-
Room and board ($500/month, paid by the resident)
-
Personal utilities (e.g., phone bills)
-
Convenience services
-
Services already covered by Medicare or other plans
Type of Waiver?
Brain Injury (BI) Waiver: For individuals with traumatic or acquired brain injuries needing specialized care.
CADI Waiver: For people with disabilities who require nursing-level care.
Elderly Waiver (EW): For seniors who need support typically provided in a nursing facility.
Help with Rent & Fees
For residents with low or no Social Security income, the MN Housing Support Program may help pay room and board costs alongside a waiver. Ask us how to apply.
What’s Covered by a Waiver?
