Children’s Long-Term Support: Waiver Basics Training for Support and Service Coordinators

Do you work at a county waiver agency? Are you a new support and service coordinator (SSC)? If so, you must complete the Children’s Long-Term Support (CLTS) Waiver Basics Training.

We offer this training in accordance with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services-approved §1915(c) home and community-based waiver application.

SSC training requirements

For SSC training, follow these steps:

  1. Complete the CLTS Waiver Basics training in Cornerstone.
  2. Complete the Typical and Atypical Child Development Modules. These take four to six hours. Then complete the Think Possible! Employment Webinar Series. You must take both trainings in your first six months as an SSC.
  3. Print completion certificates for your trainings. Keep these in your file. If there isn’t a certificate, fill out an attestation. It says you completed the training. Use the SSC Waiver Basics Training Requirement Attestation form, F-02435 (Word), or your own form. Include the training name and date you completed it. Make sure the form has signatures from you and your supervisor.
  4. Optional: If you want to be a functional screener, you must take the CLTS Functional Screen Certification Course and pass the exam. If not, you don’t have to take this training.
