Class Review and Approval

Things to Note for Class Approval: 

 Class review and approval process can take up to 30 days from time of request. 

 It is recommended that Classes are submitted for approval prior to paying for services/attending classes. 

 If a class provider is also providing other Self-Direction Services (Clinician, Support Broker, Community Habilitation, SEMP, Respite) this must be disclosed during the initial request for approval.
