The Level One Waiver is for people who do not need a lot of paid staff to provide services. Usually, people using a Level One Waiver only need help with a few things, or they have people who can help them with some of the things they need, like cooking meals, taking showers, or driving places. The Self-Empowered Life Funding (SELF) Waiver is for people who want to be in charge of some of their services.
