I understand that receiving the $250 sign on (stay on) bonus and retention bonus is contingent on working at a participating WisCaregiver Career CDCP HCBS provider/agency. I understand that it is my responsibility to inform my employer that I have completed the CDCP program and testing and that my completion information can be found on the CDCP registry. If funding that supports the bonus program ceases, DHS will inform all individuals on the CDCP Registry.

*HCBS Provider Definition:

Home and community-based services (HCBS) providers contract with Medicaid so Medicaid beneficiaries can receive services in their own home or community rather than institutions or other isolated settings. These programs serve a variety of targeted populations groups, such as people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and the elderly. Funding to support your free training, competency testing, and financial incentives comes from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and requires individuals receiving HCBS services to benefit.
