The Preliminary Implementation Component Tool (PICT) planning process allows counties to request waiver capacity and assign it to individuals in their county, allowing the waiver enrollment process to begin. The PICT planning process is part of the larger Waiver Management System (WMS) application.
PICT requests:
PICT requests for allocations are due to DODD two weeks before the end of the calendar quarter. DODD will work to get approvals for waiver capacity requests out as close to the first day of the calendar quarter whenever possible.
Replacement, Emergency requests:
Requests for emergency and replacement capacity is now available on both the Level One and IO waivers. Requests for these types of capacity are handled on an ongoing basis. Please use the forms at the bottom of the page to make the request. In addition, please update your PICT queue to reflect any requests for emergency or replacement capacity.
Important additional information related to PICT: [ + ]
All names submitted for emergency or replacement capacity must be included the county’s PICT plan. The Waiver Unit will be checking the PICT against submitted enrollment packets with greater scrutiny.
Any individuals substituted from the original PICT allocation approval must be submitted to the Waiver Unit Managers via Email prior to enrollment packets being submitted. Managers will halt the enrollment process and contact the county board superintendent/business managers if a name is not indicated on the PICT.
Enrollment packets must reflect individuals on the county PICT submission in order to be finalized.
Substitutions are not permitted for any emergency or replacement capacity allocations. A new request for reserve capacity should be made if a different individual will be enrolled with reserve capacity.
The names of individuals submitted for Emergency capacity requests should be the first person (s) on your PICT queue.
