MnCHOICES is a comprehensive web-based application that integrates assessment and support planning for Minnesotans who need long-term services and supports. MnCHOICES is for people of all ages who have any type of disability or need for long-term services and supports. MnCHOICES embraces a person-centered approach to ensure services meet each person's strengths, goals, preferences and assessed needs. 

To determine if you or your family member can participate in one of the home and community based waiver programs we will ask the following questions:
- Are the services necessary to ensure the recipients health, welfare and safety?
- Will the services address skill development and/or skill maintenance?
- Is the service covered by any other funding source, such as Medical Assistance, private pay health insurance, Medicare, education or vocational rehab service?
- Have all options been assessed and does this option meet the individual desires, needs and preferences of the person?
- Is the cost of the service considered reasonable and customary?
