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.

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.
