1  The compliance percentage increased in FY24 largely because the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) initiated an "auto approve" process in the system. Person-centered plans that fit into a particular category are automatically approved. This opened up DDA's capacity to review.
2  The program hired more staff to serve the community in FY24. Three additional team members will be able to assess an additional 25 clients each per month.
3  In FY24 following the end the public health emergency order, Maryland Department of Health (MDH) started removing clients who were not qualified to remain in the program, including Medicaid ineligible clients, deceased clients, and clients who no longer reside in Maryland. That and the slow processing of plan of services by MDH resulted in fewer new clients enrolling in the program (MDH assigns DHHS new clients).
