2024 One-Year State Plan Amendment
Background
The Administration for Community Living has provided guidance that States must complete an amendment of their current State Plan for Independent Living to extend the Plan for one additional year.
States have the option of a technical amendment, one that makes minor revisions, or a substantial amendment, one that makes changes that include funding, service areas, or major adjustments.
Summary
The Ohio SILC held meetings with members of the CIL network to discuss the current Plan and the types of changes that are needed to extend the Plan for an additional year. After the meetings, a draft of the revision has been created.
The workgroup reviewing the Plan has agreed that the State will submit a substantial amendment.
This draft has been reviewed by the State Plan Committee of the SILC. After the Committee review, the Ohio SILC accepted the Committee’s recommendation on moving forward in the process with a substantial amendment.
Administration for Community Living has been informed of the decision to move forward with a substantial amendment.
