Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS)

Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS) is an option under the Home and Community Based Waiver program that allows people to direct their own services.

The Individual/Participant and their Representative create a plan for how their dollars are going to be spent to help them live more independent lives at home and in the community. PICS, as the Financial Management Services provider, assists by paying for the services outlined in the plan and billing the State for those costs.

PICS helps Individuals/Participants:

• Process payroll.
• Process and pay expenses reimbursements.
• Handle accounting, reporting, tax and revenue information.
• Facilitate hiring and staffing, including payroll, benefits, insurance and training.
