Colorado's 2026 budget brought significant changes to Medicaid services for people with disabilities — and we know many of you have questions after this budget was signed into law on May 8.

Our CEO and Executive Director Matt VanAuken breaks down what changed and what it means for the individuals and families we support in our latest Policy Pulse blog post.

Topics covered include:
- New limits on Community First Choice service hours
- Changes to the DD waiver, including enrollment and PETI cost-sharing
- A 2% rate reduction for providers and direct service providers
- The new Colorado Single Assessment tool
- Annual eligibility reviews for Early Intervention

If you have questions about how any of these changes affect your services, your DP case manager is your best first call.
