A message from the NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities
As you know, the Division of Developmental Disabilities' (DDD) transition to a new fiscal intermediary, Public Partnerships, is underway and will "go live" on July 1, 2017.
Some individuals who receive DDD services are dually enrolled in the Division of Disability Services' (DDS) Personal Preference Program (PPP) - and because PPP is also in the process of transitioning to Public Partnerships, there has been a little confusion among some individuals and families.
Therefore, DDD has compiled clarifying information below for dually enrolled individuals/families, as well as additional information related to the transition to Public Partnerships.
As always, we welcome and encourage your questions and feedback.
Thank you,
Liz Shea
