This webinar dives into Disabled Children’s Home Care (DCHC) which is sometimes referred to as Katie Beckett. DCHC allows children and youth under 19 with long-term disability or complex needs to qualify for Medicaid regardless of family income. In the presentation, we will provide an overview of the program, eligibility, application process, and the resources to help along the way. This presentation will be helpful to anyone interested in learning more about this alternative pathway to Medicaid, is considering applying, and/or works with families that might benefit from this program. It may also be helpful to those that would like a refresh on some of the program details and changes in the recent years.

Presenter: Kelsey Naro is the Health Systems Coordinator at Children with Special Health Care Needs (Vermont Department of Health). She is a social worker by training with experience in home health, care coordination, and public health systems.
