What is an HCBS Waiver?A waiver is a program that provides services that allow individuals to remain in their own homes or live in a community setting, instead of in an institution. Illinois has nine HCBS waivers. Each waiver is designed for individuals with similar needs and offers a different set of services.
Who is eligible for a HCBS Waiver?
  1.  Individuals must be U.S. citizens or legal aliens and residents of the state of Illinois;
  2.  Individuals must meet Medicaid financial eligibility criteria as specified in each waiver;
  3.  Individuals must require an institutional level of care as specified in each waiver;
  4.  Individuals' service needs must be able to be provided in the waiver at a cost equal to or less than  the cost for institutional care; and
  5.  Individuals must meet any other requirements, such as age or diagnosis requirements, specific to  the waiver program.
