Specialized telecommunications equipment or services are grouped into specific voucher categories according to similarity.
HHSC DHHS sets a reasonable price, called the voucher category value, for each voucher category based on factors such as the types of specialized telecommunications equipment or services included. Voucher category values are used as the values for issued vouchers.

The voucher category value as determined by HHSC DHHS might not cover the entire cost of the specialized telecommunications equipment or service. An eligible applicant is responsible for paying the difference between the issued voucher’s value and the price of the specialized telecommunications equipment or service.
HHSC DHHS reviews voucher category values at least annually and reviews eligibility criteria for voucher categories at least biennially.
Proposed voucher category values and eligibility criteria for voucher categories are posted to the HHSC DHHS STAP webpage for comments 45 calendar days before final determinations are made. Comments obtained from the advance posting are considered in determining voucher category values and eligibility criteria for a voucher category.
Determinations of HHSC DHHS voucher category values and eligibility criteria for voucher categories are final.
