Direct Payment Programs
Direct Payment Programs are initiatives where government agencies provide individuals with funds directly, allowing them to choose and pay for services or support that meet their specific needs. Instead of receiving traditional government services, participants have more flexibility and control over how funds are used, such as hiring personal care providers or purchasing specialized equipment. These programs promote independence and tailored support, often used in healthcare, social services, or disability assistance, empowering recipients to manage their care while ensuring they receive necessary resources.
