Virginia Consumer-Directed Services / CCC Plus Waiver
Virginia Medicaid offers consumer-directed services for certain CCC Plus Waiver and DD Waiver services. The member or designated representative acts as employer of record for an attendant, while a services facilitator helps the member and family or primary caregiver learn employer responsibilities.
What it offers
Consumer-directed services let eligible Virginia Medicaid waiver members employ attendants for personal care/personal assistance, respite, and companion services. The member or designated representative handles employer responsibilities such as hiring, training, managing, and termination, with services facilitator support. CCC Plus waiver applicants need LTSS screening and Medicaid eligibility.
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 Virginia?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does your relationship to the person — parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative — count for this program?
- 03
What counts as a qualifying disability or level of care need, and what documentation shows it?
- 04
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 05
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 06
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.
- 07
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 08
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
