MNChoices Assessment

MENCHOIS' assessment is a tool designed by the Department of Human Services that determines eligibility for publicly funded programs and services for people of all ages. The assessment will help someone understand if they qualify for home care such as community first services and supports, otherwise known as CFSS, or waiver programs, as well as to receive help accessing other supports that may be available in the community in which they live. The initial MENCHOIS' assessment is completed in person by a trained certified assessor who will ask questions based on the state tool to determine eligibility across these programs. Some of the questions can be very personal and private, but they are asked to get a clear picture of what the person's strengths and needs are.
