How should a broker respond to changing participant needs?

Adapting the plan in real time is essential when participant needs change. The broker should reassess goals, adjust the budget and services, update the plan accordingly, and resecure any approvals required to authorize the changes. This approach keeps supports aligned with current priorities, ensures funding matches the updated plan, and maintains compliance while avoiding gaps in services. Waiting for an annual review delays needed changes; cancelling services entirely when needs shift is too drastic and disruptive; increasing fees without revisiting the plan undermines fairness and policy.
