Referrals for OSDP Programs are placed on the Referral List based on the date of their request for services. As allocation allow, referral names will be released from the Referral List for individuals requesting services via the IL Grant, State Attendant Care Program, TBI/SCI Trust fund Program, IL Waiver and TBI/SCI Waiver. On the date the referral is released, all referrals released will be assigned to an OSDP Counselor for the area in which the individual will be served.
When a referral is released, the OSDP Counselor must contact the referral within 14 days.
MDRS/OSDP will maintain a separate Referral List for individuals requesting services from the following programs:
* Independent Living Waiver
* TBI/SCI Waiver
* State Attendant Care
* TBI/SCI Trust fund
* IL Grant
All referrals received are:
* entered into the AACE Referral Database
All referrals are entered based on:
* the minimum amount of information that must be gathered in order to place the individual in the referral database
All referrals are organized by:
* the date of referral with the oldest date at the top of the list and the most recent date at the bottom of the list.
Any referral can apply for services when:
* their name comes to the top of the list and;
* a waiver slot is available (IL Waiver; TBI/SCI Waiver)
* MDRS/OSDP has funding available to support the slots that have been federally approved.
* when funding is not available to support the slots that are not full, referrals of potential consumers will remain a referral until a slot becomes available.
