Your use of your budgetary allotments in your plan may also change as a result of altering circumstances. You may utilize the entire amount of your core support budget’s flexible funding to pay for the disability-related supports you require.

You can choose to use this money to pay support staff to assist with daily obligations like grocery shopping or other aspects of daily life, daily assistance for those with disabilities, or both. Rent, groceries, and other costs of daily life continue to be considered personal expenses. OysterCare can create a plan for you that takes your needs into mind, even if you have a tight budget with your existing plan.
