HARD CHOICES
Description Impact
Original Methodology based on original iBudget Plan distribution through algorithm for all services including extraordinary needs for those who qualify.
• Based on current appropriation ($810M)
• Consumers have flexibility to choose services within limits of their individual allocation
• Reductions will be significant for some consumers
7
HARD CHOICES
Description Impact
Base Model
This model compares the iBudget with the current cost plan and selects the result according to the following decision rules: 1.If Cost Plan less than iBudget, select Cost Plan.
2.If iBudget less than Cost Plan, select iBudget except when iBudget less than half Cost Plan. Then select half Cost Plan.
• Retains current cost plan for consumers whose needs are less than the iBudget
• Total cost ($725 M) is within appropriation with funds remaining for extraordinary needs and crisis situations
• Many consumers would not have sufficient allocation to meet their core services needs
8
HARD CHOICES
Description ImpactModel A Including core services
This option would provide funding for core services for consumers whose allocation was insufficient to meet their core services.
• Adds $143 M in cost• About 9,600 people are
affected• Total allocation would
exceed appropriation by about $57 M
• Adult Day Training (ADT) would not be funded for all current people who use ADT

HARD CHOICES
Description ImpactModel A with Adult Day Training (ADT) Added
This option would provide funding for ADT for consumers whose base allocation was insufficient to include ADT.
• Adds $34.6 M in additional cost
• About 5,200 people are affected
• Total allocation including core and ADT services would total $902 M
