The Individual Options is often called the IO Waiver for short. The IO Waiver is a more comprehensive waiver. It can be a good fit for people who may need a lot of help in their home, or for people who need many different services.

The Level One Waiver is a good fit for people who do not need many paid support staff to provide services. The Level One Waiver relies heavily on natural supports. Natural supports are services people provide without being paid for it.

The Self-Empowered Life Funding Waiver is usually called the SELF Waiver for short. The SELF Waiver is a good fit for people who want to manage some of their services. If you have a SELF Waiver, you can be in charge of hiring and training the people who provide your services. You can manage your budget for the services you want.
