The MRS Administrative Services Department is comprised of two major units: The Waiver Unit The Waiver Unit is responsible for determining an individual's eligibility for mental retardation services, ensuring initial applications and subsequent re-certifications are submitted to the Commonwealth with accurate information. The unit also works closely with the County Assistance offices, supports coordinators and other agencies and care providers to assist with key services, such as housing, therapy, transportation, education and vocational training. The unit is responsible for three waiver programs: Consolidated Waiver (primarily residential services) Person/Family Directed Support Waiver (in-home services) Infants and toddlers The Budget Unit The Budget Unit reviews budgets and expenditures, and performs comprehensive annual reviews of each agency's budget submission. The unit develops a budget meeting report to generate a contract work statement, which establishes funding for various program activities as well as performance expectations. This process assures that service needs are substantiated and proper documentation is maintained. The unit also conducts other key financial activities, including reviewing performance data, analyzing expenditure patterns, and instituting rigorous accounting controls and processes to maintain strong financial stewardship.
