Section 388-827-0180. Do I have additional responsibilities when I purchase my own services?

(1) When you use DDD/SSP funds paid directly to you to purchase in-home services from individuals, you become the employer. As the employer, you may have tax liabilities. If you have questions regarding employer tax issues, you can contact the Internal Revenue Service.

(2) If you want to obtain a criminal background check of any employee who will have unsupervised access to children or adults with developmental disabilities, you may get the background check done through the Washington State Patrol. You can ask your DDD case resource manager to assist you with completing these background checks.
