The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) remains dedicated to public health and safety as the department responds to the coronavirus (COVID-19) state of emergency. 

To prevent disenrollment/closure of Medicaid benefits that can occur in some circumstances with waiver disenrollment, waiver disenrollment should only be processed for the following reasons during Ohio’s state of emergency:  

• Voluntary requests (verbal or written)
• Person moved out of state
• Person has died
• Person has spent more than 90 consecutive days in facility (intermediate care facility, developmental center, or nursing facility)
