Q: Is CWS-CARES only for Title IV covered Services? Is there a plan to open the FFPSA Provider Portal up to non-Evidence Based Practice (EBP) providers?

A: For CWS-CARES V1, the FFPSA functionality will only cover the FFPSA IV-E EBPs approved by the state. CWS-CARES will not provide portal access for non-EBP providers for CARES V1. The project team does not have information about what will be part of CARES V2.
