The Katie Beckett Waiver

The Katie Beckett Waiver is a Medicaid program that allows children with significant medical needs or disabilities to receive care at home rather than in an institution, regardless of their parents’ income. It provides access to essential medical and therapy services—such as ABA, speech, or occupational therapy—by evaluating only the child’s financial and medical eligibility. The goal is to support families in keeping their children in the community while ensuring they receive the necessary level of care.
