Notice of Intent to Renew the Acquired Brain Injury 1 Waiver
Summary
The Connecticut Department of Social Services issued a notice of intent to submit a renewal application to CMS for the Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) I Medicaid 1915(c) waiver, whose current authority expires December 31, 2026. The proposed renewal includes one substantive change: adding agency-based Personal Care Assistance services to the waiver's covered service array. The notice is required under Connecticut General Statutes section 17b-8.
What this may mean
Connecticut Medicaid waiver providers serving adults with acquired brain injuries will see the addition of agency-based Personal Care Assistance as a reimbursable service if CMS approves the renewal. The current waiver expires December 31, 2026, creating a renewal timeline that DSS must manage to avoid a coverage gap for enrolled beneficiaries. The change is limited to Connecticut and affects a narrow population under state Medicaid.
