Reimbursement $ available for Manhattan families!

Manhattan Family Support Services has a great program that is
managed by Metro New York DDSO: 

FAMILY
REIMBURSEMENT ... funds are still  available!!!  

This program is only for Manhattan families whose relative
with  developmental disabilities lives at home.

Family Reimbursement will reimburse families for expenses for
goods or services that benefit their relative with developmental
disabilities.  These expenses must not be covered by any other funding
source (such as Medicaid or private insurance).

Families must submit original receipts to be reimbursed
for "goods and services" that benefit their relative. 
However, if the family cannot afford a needed item, the Family Reimbusement may
pre-pay the item.

Some examples of previously reimbursed goods/services are:

                 
- clothing                    
- beds                    
- air conditioning (must have medical justification)                     -
occasional respite                     
- adaptive equipment                    
- camp

Apply right away!  Don't delay!  These reimbursement
funds must be allocated by June 30, 2011.
