About CDC Plus:
CDC Plus stands for Consumer-Directed Care. It is a program under the Waiver that allows parents to oversee their child’s waiver funds directly. In exchange for the freedom of overseeing the budget (and being able to spend the funds more flexibly), the parent or representative assumes the responsibility for the majority of the paperwork. That includes keeping employee files, tracking timesheets and expenses, completing the billing for services, and overseeing the funding in general. Another exchange they make is the total waiver budget is reduced by 8% and then another 4% to cover the APD costs of being the fiscal agent. The theory behind this reduction is that if parents are allowed to oversee the funding directly, they will be more fiscally prudent and essentially do a better job with less money. In our experience, this is true 100% of the time.
