On July 1, 2020, DDSD will utilize a revised definition of Developmental Disability (DD) as defined in the New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) and our current, approved waivers. This change could affect whether individuals are determined to meet the definition of DD for Home and Community Based Waivers (DD and Mi Via). In preparation for the transition to the new definition, DDSD has created a temporary Pend status for registrations received between October 7, 2019 and June 30, 2020 and for any applications currently in process with a documented related condition.
