Physical Disability Waiver in Iowa

Physical Disability Waiver covers in-home and community services only — it does not pay for residential placement in Iowa. The program serves 18-64 physically disabled.

Enrollment and service authorization go through your case manager or support coordinator. They confirm eligibility, authorize the budget, and help select a provider.

Need a Residential Placement Instead?

Physical Disability Waiver does not fund residential placements. In Iowa, residential care can be funded through Elderly Waiver, Intellectual Disability (ID) Waiver, Brain Injury (BI) Waiver, and others — talk to your case manager or support coordinator about switching or adding a program.
