The CLTS program provides community-based support and services for children up to the age of 21 who have substantial limitations in their daily activities and require assistance to remain in their homes and community.
CLTS serves a wide range of children with disabilities within three target group populations: physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, and severe emotional disturbance or mental health. Professional staff can work with families to identify support needs and connect them with community resources. The program focuses on the child’s strengths and family goals.
CLTS is dedicated to providing support and services that are family-centered, inclusive, and empowering while maintaining the child’s independence and dignity.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires a standardized, statewide claims handling process for providers of Children's Long Term Support Waiver (CLTS-W) services. A Third Party Administrator (TPA) provides a statewide claims process for all agencies administering CLTS-W services, and Wisconsin's statewide claims processing vendor is Wisconsin Physicians Services (WPS). Jackson County will receive and process all invoices related to CLTS expenses. Invoices should be sent to DHHS_Invoices@jacksoncountywi.gov. Please see the FAQ CCS vs CLTS reference sheet below for more information on billing procedures.
