Reducing the developmental disabilities administration's no-paid services caseload services.
HB 1470 requires Washington's developmental disabilities administration to hire two permanent full-time staff members to manage its "no-paid services" caseload. This caseload includes individuals eligible for services but not currently receiving paid support. The staff will update the caseload to track current eligible individuals, identify those interested in services within the next year, and report this data annually to the governor and legislature. The bill also mandates that individuals on this caseload receive case resource management services, including outreach about available support options. These changes aim to improve caseload accuracy and client outreach without altering eligibility criteria or funding.
