What is the Community Support Waiver?

The Community Support Waiver (CSW) is a new Medicaid waiver program that will assist Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who do not need continuous, 24-hour support. The CSW will expand community care choices and supplement natural supports to make it easier for anyone to live independently at home.

Have questions or comments on the CSW? Reach out to us at [email protected].

Event Description:

President Biden’s Investing in America agenda [ [link removed] ] provides new opportunities to expand access to good jobs in key industries for people with disabilities. Good jobs are jobs at safe workplaces that pay family-sustaining wages and offer strong civil rights protections. Unprecedented federal investments in infrastructure, manufacturing and clean energy creates opportunities for greater inclusion of disabled people in critical industries.

This event will feature a panel of federal leaders from Departments of Labor, Commerce, Energy and Transportation discussing the impact of the Investing in America agenda and the opportunities it creates for disabled workers. Participants will also hear best practices to help employers hire and retain people with disabilities in good jobs.

Please join us for this special event [ [link removed] ]!
