The Hardship: Success is a Compliance Risk
Florida’s 2026 expansion of the Working People with Disabilities (WPD) program is a double-edged sword. While it raised asset limits to $13,000, it shifted the burden of "Work Activity" reporting onto the iBudget and Long-Term Care providers. If a client exceeds the Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) threshold without proper "Opt-In" documentation, the provider faces retroactive recoupment.

Providers are often billing under the "Standard" waiver rules when they should be under the "WPD" rules, leading to massive re-billing projects.
