A federal judge approved a settlement in a class-action lawsuit against the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities about the way the agency notified clients that their funding for services would be cut.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Mark Walker accepted the settlement, which requires the agency to restore funding within 60 days to anyone who suffered a cut during the agency’s transition to the iBudget system, a revamped program that funds services for about 30,000 developmentally disabled Floridians.
