APD > iBudget Florida

The Florida Legislature has approved APD to begin implementing the iBudget Florida program. iBudget Florida was designed with input from a broad group of stakeholders including consumers, families, support coordinators, providers, and advocates. iBudget Florida will be a new waiver which has individual consumer budgets for services, greater choice and flexibility in service selection, less bureaucracy, a role for support coordinators refocused on consumers rather than paperwork, and tools and resources to help consumers and families control their budgets. Upon receiving federal approval, iBudget Florida will begin in a small part of the state this year. It will later expand to involve all APD waiver-enrolled consumers in Florida, replacing the tier waiver system. The stakeholders' group continues to advise the agency on iBudget Florida's implementation.
