About the Georgia NOW Waiver
The Georgia New Options Waiver (NOW) supports individuals with developmental disabilities in community settings with services including community living support, community access, respite, and behavioral services. NOW is administered by DBHDD with the same provider enrollment, licensing, and quality management framework as COMP, but with services scaled to less-intensive supports.
