Waivers provide long-term services and supports in the home and community for eligible individuals. On July 1, 2017, the Commonwealth Coordinated Plus (CCC+) Waiver replaced the waivers formerly known as the Elderly or Disabled with Consumer Direction (EDCD) Waiver and the Technology (Tech) Waiver. This occurred for everyone statewide who was on an EDCD or Tech waiver.
The good news is that new services may be available to you under this new waiver. Individuals on the former EDCD waiver may now be eligible for Assistive Technology (AT) or Environmental Modifications (EM) with service limits of $5,000 for each service. Also new in this waiver is that all long-term care (waiver) services will now be managed through a managed care program called Commonwealth Coordinated Care. See article below for information on the managed care program. For additional information about the new CCC+ waiver, visit https://www.cccplusva.com/learn/long-term-services-and-supports-and-other-services. The CCC Plus Waiver is for: • adults 65+ with a medical or nursing need • individuals less than 65 years old with a disability and a medical or nursing need. Some individuals with autism may qualify for this waiver. Currently there is no waiting list for the CCC Plus Waiver.
