Children's Long-Term Support Waiver Program

About the Children's Long-Term Support Waiver Program

The Children's Long-Term Support (CLTS) Waiver Program is a Home and Community-Based Service (HCBS) Waiver that provides Medicaid funding for children who have substantial limitations in their daily activities and need support to remain in their home or community. Eligible children include those with developmental disabilities, severe emotional disturbances, and physical disabilities. Funding can be used to support a range of different services based on an assessment of the needs of the child and his or her family.

Eliminating the wait list

The videos featured below demonstrate the importance of investing in children in need of long-term care services. Governor Tony Evers’ budget  guarantees all eligible children with disabilities who have long-term care needs can access care in their communities by eliminating the current CLTS Waiver Program wait list, strengthening Wisconsin’s stance as a national leader in our approach to serving the elderly and people with disabilities. Learn more about how the CLTS Waiver Program is breaking down barriers to services so more kids and families get the support they need.
