Pre-enrollment Categories

Individuals who are seeking iBudget Waiver services who are determined eligible are assigned a Pre-Enrollment Category.

Pre-Enrollment Categories are determined based on criteria defined in Section 393.065(5), Florida Statutes. To learn more about each category, please click here.

What Should I Expect After Being Assigned a Pre-Enrollment Category?

  • APD will send you a letter that tells you about your pre-enrollment category.   Please let APD know if something changes so that we can reevaluate your pre-enrollment category based on your current needs.
  • Within 60 days of the eligibility determination, APD will help you develop a support plan to identify your needs and goals.
  • If you are interested in help navigating community services and resources, APD will connect you to the Hope Florida program where a Hope Navigator can assist in connecting you to the right resources and supports. In addition, Hope Navigators can support in developing an individualized plan according to personal goals, and helping remove barriers that stand in the way of success.

  • Every year, APD will send you a letter to check in on how you are doing. It is important to respond to the letter, as it provides a point of contact and reminder for you to let APD know if something has changed in your life (i.e. new mailing address, phone number, email address, change in caregiver or guardian, etc.).
  • If there is a change in your personal circumstances or if you are in immediate need of services, please contact your local APD office right away (click here for contact information).
