The judge in the K.W. v. Armstrong class action lawsuit ruled that Idaho Medicaid had to make big changes. One thing they have to do is make sure that adults with development disabilities can get help appealing their budgets. Medicaid has to make sure everyone who wants one has a “representative” to help them get a higher budget when they need it.

Medicaid has a new plan to make sure people can get a representative to help them. This is called the “suitable representative” plan. We need to hear what you think about it. If we like the plan, we can tell Medicaid we agree with it. If we don’t like the plan we can object to it.

How can I learn more and say what I think about the plan?

You can read a Q&A about the new plan here. And you can see the actual plan that Medicaid released here.

The K.W. v. Armstrong lawyers will hold an online meeting so you can learn more and tell us what you think. This meeting is just for people who get Medicaid DD services in Idaho and their primary advocate. The meeting will not be recorded.
