Check both Maryland’s general waiver information and its dated change notices. As checked November 6, 2026, the overview describes the Community Pathways Waiver. The amendment page’s October 1 update says CMS requested additional information on September 25 and that proposed changes described there would not take effect until approval. Do not turn those proposals into current service rules.
If a notice may affect an individual arrangement, ask the CCS or FMCS which approved rule applies, its effective date and the effect on the person’s authorization. Keep the answer with the relevant notice. Some state changes have different implementation dates, so “FY2027” alone is not an effective-date instruction. Recheck the official notice before changing service or support arrangements.
