The NRCPDS builds on lessons learned as the National Program Office for the Cash & Counseling grant program—a successful decade-long effort to introduce participant-directed programs into 15 state Medicaid programs.
Cash & Counseling gives frail elders and adults and children with disabilities the option to manage a flexible budget and decide for themselves what mix of goods and services will best meet their personal care needs. Cash & Counseling participants may use their budget to hire their own personal care workers as well as purchase items or make home modifications that help them live independently.
