• Detailed Information

  • Eligibility is NOT income-based. This program (as well as the “C.L.A.S.S.” Program) is a Medicaid Waiver program, which means has a long wait list. However, a procedure called “Money Follows the Person” (formerly known as “Rider-28”) can expedite your child to the top of the list. To sign up for MDCP (and C.L.A.S.S.), call the State office at 1-877-438-5658 to have your child placed on the waitlist. After placing child on waitlist, to implement “Money Follows the Person,” call the region office at 972-337-6207 to be assigned a caseworker.   

      MDCP provides respite, flexible family support services, minor home modifications, adaptive aids, transition assistance services, employment assistance, supported employment and financial management services through a STAR Kids managed care organization.
