The program provides funds in an amount proportionate to the amount of resources you would receive through COPES, and gives you flexibility to self-direct the purchase of goods and services to address your long-term care needs. The degree to which the budget meets your needs depends on the supports you identify and prioritize in your spending plan. Depending on your decisions, after your budget is exhausted, some of your needs may be unmet, or you may find other resources to address them.
