🚨TAKE ACTION -- TAKE OUR SURVEY: Texas State agencies are reviewed just once every 10 years by the Sunset Advisory Commission, impacting quality of life for Texans with IDD for a decade! Take The Arc of Texas' Sunset Review Survey to share your experiences, concerns and suggestions for two agencies under review this cycle:
--The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) oversees Medicaid, long-term services and supports, and Medicaid waiver programs that help Texans with IDD live in their communities.
--The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) provides employment support, vocational rehabilitation, and workforce development services vital to people with disabilities seeking meaningful jobs.
