Act 150 Program

Pennsylvania’s Act 150 Program supports eligible adults with physical disabilities who need assistance to live independently in the community. The program is administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services through the Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL).

PCC provides service coordination for eligible Act 150 participants. We work with participants to understand goals and preferences, coordinate and monitor authorized supports, address barriers, and connect participants with community resources that may help support independence and safety. Eligibility, enrollment, service authorization and program rules are determined by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

OBRA Waiver

The OBRA Waiver is a Pennsylvania home and community-based services program administered through the Office of Long-Term Living. It supports eligible individuals who meet the waiver’s requirements and who can be served safely in a community setting.

PCC provides service coordination for eligible OBRA Waiver participants. Service Coordinators work with participants to identify goals, participate in person-centered planning, coordinate and monitor services, communicate with providers, and connect with additional community resources when appropriate. Waiver eligibility, enrollment and authorization decisions are made by the applicable state entities.

Adult Autism Waiver – Supports Coordination

Pennsylvania’s Adult Autism Waiver (AAW) is a Medicaid home and community-based services waiver for eligible adults age 21 and older with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The waiver is administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services through the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP).

PCC provides Supports Coordination for eligible Adult Autism Waiver participants. Supports Coordinators help participants identify goals, develop and monitor the person-centered Individual Support Plan (ISP), coordinate with service providers, understand available supports, address barriers and connect with resources that may strengthen independence and community participation. ODP and other responsible state entities determine waiver eligibility and approve services; PCC does not make eligibility or authorization decisions.
