What Expenses Can Be Covered Under CFSS

With the help of the Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) program, people with disabilities should have the freedom to select the supports and services that best suit their need. Even though CFSS provides a broad range of possible coverage, actual costs may differ depending on unique situations, service plans, and state-specific regulations.
Here are some common expenses that may be covered under CFSS:
    •    Support Worker Wages: Compensation for individuals providing personal care, assistance with daily living activities, or other support services.
    •    Benefits for Support Workers: Costs associated with employment-related benefits, such as workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, and payroll taxes.
    •    Training and Development: Expenses for training support workers to enhance their skills and knowledge.
    •    Equipment and Supplies: Costs for assistive technology, medical equipment, or other necessary items to support independence.
    •    Respite Care: Payment for temporary relief for caregivers.
    •    Transportation: Costs related to transportation for appointments, activities, or errands.
    •    Home Modifications: Expenses for adapting a home to meet an individual’s needs, such as wheelchair ramps or grab bars.
Important Note: To find out your exact coverage eligibility, speak with your CFSS case manager or consultant. They can help create a service plan that fits your budget and specific demands, as well as offer comprehensive information on permitted expenses.
