iBudget Florida
The Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) is exploring a new concept which would provide for more consumer direction relating to service selection and frequency. This new concept is based on each person having an individualized budget where they prioritize how they spend the money allocated to them; therefore we are calling it iBudget Florida.
APD was tasked by the Florida Legislature to develop and implement a plan for the new system in which APD customers who are currently using the Medicaid waiver to pay for services would receive an annual budget based on a statistically valid methodology/algorithm. The agency submitted this plan to the Legislature on February 1, 2010. The plan is available here. The Legislature is currently considering the plan and will provide APD direction about proceeding.
- APD sought public input prior to the plan's submission. Even though the plan has been submitted, APD still welcomes comments and suggestions about the plan. You can send us your comments through this website. You can also call us at 1-866-APD CARES (1-800-273-2273)
- APD held a variety of meetings across the state across the plan. Materials from these meetings are posted here.
