Determination of Eligibility for Community Care Services for Elderly Persons or Persons with Disabilities

The executive commissioner by rule shall develop and the department shall implement a plan to assist elderly persons or persons with disabilities requesting community care services in receiving those services as quickly as possible when those services become available. The plan must require the department to:

(1)

forecast participant openings that will become available in a community care program serving the elderly person or person with a disability during the next fiscal quarter because of program expansion or case closures;

(2)

contact an individual on an interest list and begin the program eligibility determination process at least 30 days before an opening is forecasted to become available in the program; and

(3)

ensure that an individual determined to be eligible for services does not begin receiving services until after the opening actually becomes available.
