Background Screenings for CDC Plus
In this Coffee Chat, Scarlett answers Carrie’s question about background screenings for CDC Plus employees. CDC Plus stands for Consumer-Directed Care and is an option that individuals and their representatives can choose when receiving Waiver services. CDC Plus allows families to have more flexibility when hiring employees and using Waiver-approved services. But, it comes with a lot more responsibility!
Carrie is getting added as a paid caregiver on her daughter’s CDC Plus budget, and Scarlett is helping Carrie find an approved background screening agency through the correct Clearinghouse required by the Agency for Persons (APD) with Disabilities. Scarlett explains the best way to ensure you’re paying for a background screening that will be accepted by APD.
