NH Developmental Disabilities (DD) Waiver Renewal 2026-2031

Public Comment for the DD Waiver renewal is open now, from January 7, 2026, to February 11, 2026. The attached Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment details the public comment process. The information may also be found here: https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/nh-developmental-disabilities-waiver-and-acquired-brain-disorder-waiver-renewal-2026-2031. The State will host four public hearings during the public comment period. Two sessions will be held in person, and two sessions will be held virtually. The dates, times, and locations of these public hearings are listed below.

 Last year, DHHS requested public input as BDS began the Developmental Disabilities Waiver renewal process. BDS held listening sessions to gather feedback, experiences, and thoughts from individuals and families who use services through the DD Waiver. Sharing what has worked and what needs attention helped inform waiver changes in the application, which will be available for formal public comment from January 7 – February 11, 2026.

The public is invited to review and comment on the draft renewal.
