SDAN held a General Membership Meeting on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 to discuss issues and advocacy on the new DDA policies.
On October 24, 2024, the DDA announced sweeping new changes to Self-Direction, without any real input from the Self-Direction community on either impact and implementation.
Their new policies diminish employer and budget authority and restrict access to services through a mountain of red tape. SDAN is concerned about the lack of stakeholder input on the impact and implementation of these new policies. We believe they are inconsistent with the waiver and the law. In this meeting, we hoped to help inform and support your advocacy as we continue to oppose this action by the DDA.
