  • Those who have a developmental disability and receive services from a Regional Center (children who are enrolled in the Early Start Program are not eligible).
  • People who live at home or in the community (those who live in care facilities are not eligible, unless they are planning to move out of the facility).
  • Those who agree to participate in an orientation, work with a financial management services agency, and manage the program’s services within their budget.
