My child is very young, should I sign them up or is this an adult only program? 

You can qualify at any age. Don’t delay, add your child right away. Consider adding your child to as many waiver interest lists as possible when your child is first diagnosed with a disability or special health-care need. You should also think about adding your child to the lists even if they aren’t yet diagnosed but you have reason to believe that your child will have a long-term disability or special health-care need.



How do I add my child to the interest lists? 

You do not have to prove your child is eligible before adding them to the waiver interest lists. Your child will go through this process/review once they move to the top of the list. Only then is the eligibility information reviewed and used to decide if your child can enroll. Call 1-855-937-2372 for information about Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) long-term services. A trained professional will guide you to the right option.
