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].
