The ABI Medicaid Waiver Program is a state run program that provides non-medical services to people with brain injury. It allows for these individuals to live outside of institutions and nursing facilities by providing services for them in their home and community.

Allied Community Resources, Inc. is the assigned fiduciary agent for the program and is responsible for processing time sheets and invoices and issuing payments for Waiver services for the State of Connecticut. We are also responsible for approving and training service providers and maintaining a list of approved providers that is sent statewide to social workers who are working on service plans for the participants.

The ABI Program provides nineteen non medical, home community-based services, for individuals with brain injury who have met the programs eligibility criteria with the Department of Social Services. Click here for a list of services

Allied's role begins when we receive a service plan from the Department of Social Services. If the referred individual has household employees on their plan, the participant receives training and assistance from Allied on their responsibilities as a household employer. Allied staff travels to the participant’s home to provide this beneficial training. The training includes information on recruiting, hiring, training, and supervision of household service providers. Allied also assists the participant in filing all of the necessary IRS applications and paperwork to become established as a household employer.

Allied conducts statewide outreach to prospective providers and maintains a directory of providers who have expressed an interest in working with individuals under this program. The Directory is updated daily and is used by participants on the program for recruiting purposes. To obtain a copy of the ABI provider directory, you must be a participant, conservator or legal representative, DSS Social Worker, or assigned as a case manager provider on the plan. Personalized directories are available upon request.
