Delaware’s Division of Developmental Disabilities Services is offering individuals with disabilities who would like to live in the community the opportunity to apply for a Lifespan Waiver to receive Medicaid benefits. The waivers require an income cap of about $1,900 dollars a month and an asset cap of $2,000 in resources. A maximum of 2,600 individuals can qualify for the Lifespan Waiver in 2020.
