RE: Contract ID #6351 PO for Disability Navigator Program
Weld Transmittal letter FY22.pdf
This item isn't associated with any previous Tyler ID. We do have the attached Transmittal letter that is associated with
it, I'm not sure if that helps provide any information that could be useful while creating the Reso. A bill in 2019 began
the program, but because of the pandemic it took some time for the program to actually get funded by the State. The
State offered funding for Disability Navigators for all counties via an interest survey sent to OHS Directors, which
resulted in the attached transmittal letter and PO that is in CMS.
This PO, CMS ID 6351 is for SFY 2022 which our team didn't become aware of until late August. Also as an FYI, CMS ID
6352 is also now routing through CMS for approval which is for the same program, but for SFY 2023.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
