After the budget pages are finished, the two items you submit to the Medicaid Care Manager (or equivalent) are the budget workbook and the Service/Support Plan (SSP). The workbook lays out the detailed budget calculations—line items, unit costs, hours, and total funds—showing exactly how the funds will be allocated. The SSP takes those numbers and turns them into a concrete plan of supports: what services will be funded, who will provide them, where and when they’ll occur, and how progress and adjustments will be handled. The care manager reviews these documents together to determine eligibility and approve the plan. Other options either represent ongoing documentation (attendance logs and progress notes) or parts of intake and authorization processes that aren’t the specific two documents tied to completing the budget page submission.
