FSSA implements waitlist for Aged and Disabled Waiver services

The Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) last week announced a waitlist for the Aged and Disabled Waiver, meaning that Hoosiers in need of skilled nursing care and other services will be forced to wait. In January, the agency warned that a waitlist could be imminent as it sought to reconcile a nearly $1 billion shortfall in Medicaid. Previously, the agency said it maintained waiver slots at “approximately” 50,000 and would expand to 55,000 in 2025.
