WAC 388-832-0335. What is a one-time award?

(1) A one-time award is a payment that must be used for architectural or vehicle modifications, or specialized medical equipment and supplies. (2) You may be eligible for a one-time award if: (a) You have a one-time, unmet need; (b) You are not currently authorized for the state-funded individual and family services (IFS) program or home and community based services waiver in your person-centered service plan (PCSP); (c) You are at least three years old and live with family; (d) The need is critical to the health or safety of you or your caregiver; and (e) You and your family have no other resource to meet the need or your resources do not cover all of the expense. (3) One-time awards must not exceed six thousand dollars in a twenty-four month period. (4) One-time awards must be approved by the developmental disabilities administration's (DDA's) regional administrator or designee. (5) Eligibility for a one-time award does not guarantee approval and authorization of the service by DDA because services are limited to available funding. (6) You must have a DDA assessment before receiving a one-time award.
