Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 660-5-3-.05 - Service Availability

(1) The availability of all adult services with the exception of adult protective service investigations is subject to funding limitations and provider participation.

(2) When an eligible client requests a service for which there is no slot immediately available, his application will be approved and his name placed on a waiting list unless the requested service is an adult service not available in his or her geographic area. (Exception: The waiting list may be disregarded and the county's slot allocation exceeded when authorizing day care for JOBS and transitional clients and former transitional clients who remain eligible for day care.) Service will be authorized when a slot becomes available, the client is redetermined eligible, and need for the service is reestablished. Eligible applicants for adult services will be placed on the waiting list according to priorities. Individuals at risk of abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation will be given the first priority and individuals at risk of institutionalization will have second priority. The date of request will determine standing on the waiting list when two or more eligible applicants have the same priority.

(3) Handicapped Children Fund Services are subject to funding limitations and restrictions. First priority for services shall be given to individuals who are determined to be abused, neglected and/or exploited or who are suspected to be at risk of abuse, neglect and/or exploitation or who are residential/institutional placement or at risk of residential/institutional placement and who otherwise meet service specific criteria for services. Individuals not falling within one of the categories for priority status shall be put on a waiting list and provided services out of available non-priority funding.
