Do you work at a county waiver agency (CWA)? Are you a new support and service coordinator (SSC)? If so, you must complete the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) CLTS Program Training for Support and Service Coordinators (SSCs).
All SSCs are required to complete the following trainings. The SSC must work under the direct supervision of a qualified SSC or supervisor until they complete the required training. The CWA is required to maintain documentation from DHS that the training was successfully completed. We offer this training in accordance with the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services-approved §1915(c) home and community-based waiver application.
