The purpose of the Single Service Authorization System (SSAS) project is to consolidate the service authorization and claims payment functionality of Intellectual Disability Client Assignment and Registration (ID CARE) and Service Authorization System (SAS) into a single service authorization system for all DADS Long Term Care Services and Supports (LTCSS) programs.
