CDCS (Community Directed Community Supports) is a waiver-based program that allows participants to self-direct services within an approved budget. Participants choose how services are organized and who provides them, consistent with the approved support plan.
Under CDCS, the participant is the employer of record. That means payroll and employer taxes must be processed correctly and reported. Employer costs come out of the authorized budget.
RedOne administers payroll and employer tax obligations within the approved CDCS budget, including wage payments, employer taxes, and required reporting.
A CDCS budget is not “cash in your bank.” It is an authorized allocation used for approved services and employer obligations. Employer taxes, required coverage, and administrative fees reduce the wage pool available for hourly pay.
