In an effort to serve as many families as possible, LISS is intended to

be a last resort for funding and other funding sources must be exhausted

prior to the distribution of LISS funds.

LISS funds can assist with any future services that have not already

taken place or been purchased. LISS can not reimburse or pay for

services already occurred. LISS is not designed to be an emergency

resource.

LISS funds are available through the contracted agencies on a

first-come, first served basis. There is no guarantee that funding requests

will be approved.

Anyone can make a referral for LISS services. It is suggested that if you have a case manager/resource/service coordinator that they are contacted so they can assist you through the process.

The application/request for services is just one item that is needed to start the process. It is important that you gather everything that is required prior to submitting the application. Once the LISS provider receives the application you will have 10 business days to submit any other items that are required.

What other items are needed for the application process?

• Copy of the individual’s Social Security Card
• Invoice(s) for service(s) being requested
• Proof of address (State ID or Driver’s License)
• Copy of Individual’s Medical Assistance card or proof of Medical Assistance Application (for individuals 18 and older)
• Original Application with signature (must be mailed)
  
  

Depending on the service(s) being requested or the information that

DDA may be missing, more information may be requested by the LISS provider.
