You must now endorse your chosen plan manager, which simply means telling the NDIA who you are selecting to manage your plan.

Don’t worry, it’s a straightforward process, and we've got a comprehensive guide to endorsing Blitzit Plan Manager to assist you!

Whichever endorsing option you choose, make sure to follow these tips:

Important information for support coordinators

Endorsement can only be done by the participant, their nominee, or their guardian. As a support coordinator, you cannot endorse providers on your participant's behalf.

If your participant would like to have their plan managed by a provider such as Blitzit Plan Manager, they must now endorse them, which simply means informing the NDIA who you are choosing to manage their plan.
