Who is responsible for submitting the Self-Directed Services Budget Sheet to the Financial Management provider?

The responsibility for submitting the Self-Directed Services Budget Sheet to the Financial Management provider typically falls to both the CCS (Community Coordinator/Case Coordinator) and Support Brokers. This collaborative approach ensures that both perspectives—those managing the individual’s care and those guiding financial aspects—are integrated during the budgeting process.

Support Brokers play a crucial role in assisting individuals with disability support services, particularly in crafting budgets that reflect the person’s needs and aspirations. Meanwhile, the CCS brings in depth of knowledge regarding service coordination and assessment of individual progress. Together, they ensure accuracy and appropriateness in budgeting, ultimately leading to effective service delivery.

By having both parties involved in the submission of this document, the process benefits from a more comprehensive understanding of the individual’s circumstances, leading to better management of resources and compliance with regulations. This teamwork helps to foster a quality support system that aligns with the individual’s goals and available funding.
