Fiscal Management Service
A Fiscal Management Service, or FMS, is an administrative tool used to help families
directly select and arrange for supports & services for their child with community
providers. The FMS will act as an intermediary between you and your Support Broker
and is responsible for managing approved state funds and administering these funds
to certified providers who have delivered services to eligible children. Families
with children who are enrolled in the Autism Waiver Program can decide what suits
their particular needs. You may want to use the FMS to do many different things,
or you may only want a few things. PPL will process timesheets and invoices submitted
and ensure that funds are available to pay the provider by matching the timesheet
or invoice to a budget approved by DMR. As a FMS, PPL does not hold any decision-making
authority in regards to service need or service plan development.
