Disregard Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Benefits
 

I fully support the disregard of SSDI when determining eligibility for the three Developmental Disability Waivers.  The improved financials are the preferred SSDI (funded by payroll taxes) vs. SSI (funded by US Treasury) for payout purposes and the increase in dollars to the state since disabled individuals will remain on the waiver and Patient Pay is based on SSDI.
