Dear Self-Directing Participants and their Employees,

The Arc Central Chesapeake Region (Arc CCR) is pleased to announce that, effective Wednesday, May 1, 2024, we will begin accepting new referrals for Financial Management and Counseling Services (FMCS) for new and existing DDA participants.

Referrals should be entered by the Coordinator of Community Services (CCS) in LTSSMaryland at least 30 days prior to the participant’s expected date of enrollment into The Arc CCR’s FMCS. This will give participants and their teams sufficient time to schedule an enrollment meeting and for our FMCS team to process the new hire documentation. Once the referral is completed in LTSSMaryland, The Arc CCR will reach out to complete the enrollment process.

If a participant is currently using another FMCS but was previously supported by and chooses to use The Arc CCR as their FMCS again, an enrollment meeting must occur, and new-hire documentation must be submitted for review.

For any questions regarding the enrollment process, please send an email to FMSParticipants@thearcccr.org.

Thank you,

Your Self-Directed Services Team at The Arc Central Chesapeake Region
