An amended Independence Waiver that has been approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has been posted to the PA Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) website. See http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=733698&mode=2. On its website OLTL indicates that the services provided through the Independence Waiver may be able to help adults with physical disabilities to live or remain in the community and remain as independent as possible. To be eligible for the Independence Waiver you must be a Pennsylvania resident between the ages of 18 and 60. Individuals who are currently in the waiver and were enrolled prior to July 1, 2006 will age in place.
