FMS PAY - REGIONAL CENTER CASE MANAGER OFFICE HOURS

FMS PAY - REGIONAL CENTER CASE MANAGER OFFICE HOURS

We’re hosting monthly Regional Center Case Manager Office Hours to support regional center case managers working with clients and families considering California’s Self-Determination Program (SDP). Our Financial Management Services team provides day-to-day fiscal support for SDP participants — and we want to help make SDP less confusing and less intimidating for you and the people you serve!

Why attend:
  • Get clear, practical answers to real SDP questions (enrollment, budget development, FMS role/responsibilities, documentation, vendor requirements, etc.).
  • Learn how SDP can work smoothly for clients and the supports that reduce case manager workload.
  • Address common concerns and myths so you can give balanced guidance to clients considering SDP.
  • Learn the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in a client's SDP journey.

Who should come:

  • Any regional center case manager or support coordinator who: is curious about SDP, has clients thinking about SDP, or wants to better understand the FMS role and paperwork.

Format:

  • Monthly drop-in office hours (virtual) — informal Q&A and short topic-focused mini-presentations.

Suggested topics you can bring:

  • How SDP affects case manager responsibilities
  • Budget approval and spending plan questions
  • Vendor qualifications "Appendix C"
  • Transition steps for clients moving from traditional services to SDP
  • Documentation and regional center coordination tips
Alert
We’re here to make SDP work for clients and for you. We welcome your questions — no question is too basic. Hope to see you at the next session!
