How can I become a Support Broker?

In Idaho, a prospective Support Broker first needs to meet certain qualifications (18+ years old, a degree or equivalent training, 2 years of experience with the target population), complete a criminal history check and pass the application exam. You can begin the process for serving adults here and the process for serving children here.

How much money do Support Brokers make?

Currently, the maximum hourly rate for a Support Broker is $18.72. However, families and individuals can choose a rate lower than this, if desired. Support Brokers only make money when working on billable activities that have been defined in a participant’s Support & Spending Plan.

Who do Support Brokers work with?

Support Brokers provide services to individuals who have a developmental disability and meet certain state criteria. There are separate exams and approvals for working with children and adults. A Support Broker can serve both populations if they complete both processes. Family members are no longer allowed to serve as an individual’s Support Broker.
