Children’s Waiver

Per Macomb County Community Mental Health (MCCMH), “staff hired through self-determination arrangements must be qualified providers. If staff does not meet the minimum training requirements, the fiscal intermediary will not be able to pay the staff with the self-determination budget dollars. It is the responsibility of the Employer of Record and/or Managing Employer to track training.”

Please carefully review the below certification requirements for Children’s Waiver cases.

To assist the Employer of Record and/or Managing Employer, please use the below Training Grid and Training Tracking forms provided by MCCMH.
