How is a monthly SDS budget used?

The monthly SDS budget is money set aside to pay for the services and supports that the person and their planning team have approved. Spending isn’t open-ended; funds must be used within the specific categories approved in the plan and all expenditures must be documented with receipts or invoices and proper records. This structure ensures the funds directly support the individual's goals and are used in a transparent, accountable way. For example, payments might cover direct care, therapies, transportation, or adaptive equipment, as long as those items or services fit the approved categories.
