The Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) maintains a statewide list of people waiting for services through the I/DD program. Southwest Developmental Services, Inc. assists KDADS with managing the waiting list; however, we cannot tell you your position on the list.

When KDADS determines that new individuals can be served under the I/DD program, the following things happen:

• A letter offering access to the HCBS I/DD Program funding is mailed to that person.
• That person is given at least 14 days to respond.
• The person can respond by mail or over the phone.
• If the person doesn’t respond, they will be sent a final notice that includes the last day they have to respond by.
• People who accept funding will need to contact the CDDO and also the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to begin the process of receiving services.
