Nebraska Disability Assessment Under Fire | Lincoln News
Description
Nebraska’s controversial assessment tool for people with developmental disabilities is under fire as families report it’s wrongly denying critical care funding. In response, the state has hired a $420K outside firm to audit the system — but advocates demand faster action, including halting funding cuts and appeals. While officials pledge to act on findings, critics are raising red flags over a former state official now working for the review team, though the state insists no conflicts will affect the process.
