TEFRA: (Tax, Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982)
Under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA), states may provide Medicaid coverage to children with severe disabilities, disregarding their family income, if these children require care at an institutional (hospital, nursing home or intermediate care facility) level.
When a child receives extended care in an institutional setting, family income is disregarded as a qualification for Medicaid. The TEFRA State Plan Option makes it possible to do the same for a family whose child requires care at the level provided in an institution, but who choose to care for their child at home. Currently, 18 states and the District of Columbia have chosen to implement the TEFRA State Plan Option. Because states vary widely in the availability of institutional care for children and the clinical criteria for admitting children to these institutions, the numbers of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) who receive Medicaid benefits under this option also varies widely from state to state.
Please check with your state office to see if TEFRA is offered in your state.

FAMILY CONNECTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA
The mission of Family Connection of South Carolina is to strengthen and encourage families of children with special healthcare needs through parent support.
In 1989 a group of South Carolina parents who have children with disabilities and special needs founded the community based, family-focused organization, Family Connection of South Carolina, Inc (FCSC). Those families realized the source of their families' hope and strength for the future of their children came from other parents who had already successfully navigated life's similar challenges. Therefore, all of our programs and services are centered on the concept of parent-to-parent support or the fact that families with shared experiences are uniquely qualified to help each other.
