Hello Division Constituents and Community Partners,
 
I want to bring you up to date on the status of the Employer Identification Number (EIN) issue that emerged earlier this year with regard to individuals participating in both the Personal Preference Program (Administered by the Division of Disability Services) and the DDD Self-Directed Employee (SDE) Option.

In September 2017, for individuals dually enrolled in both PPP and the DDD SDE Option, DDD extended the deadline to register with the new Fiscal Intermediary, Public Partnerships, to February 1, 2018. This extension was granted to allow time for the Department and Division to research the EIN issue. Because that research is ongoing and a final determination has not yet been made, DDD has extended its contract with Easterseals NJ (ESNJ) through June 30, 2018.

Individuals participating in both PPP and the DDD SDE Option should continue to submit SDE timesheets to ESNJ until a final determination is made or until additional guidance is provided regarding dual enrollees and the EIN issue.

Questions or concerns should be directed to DDD's Fee-for-Service Help Desk: DDD.FeeForService@dhs.state.nj.us .
 
Thank you.
