·State program
1915(i) State plan Home and Community-Based Services
North Dakota's 1915(i) provides behavioral health services and supports for qualifying people with certain behavioral health conditions, coordinated by an assigned care coordinator.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in North Dakota?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does your relationship to the person — parent or child — count for this program?
- 03
What are the current income and asset limits, and whose income counts?
Our record lists 150% of the federal poverty level — limits change, so confirm the current figures.
- 04
Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (0–null)?
- 05
What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- 06
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 07
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 08
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 09
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 10
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
