(b) When choices must be made among Interim Assistance applicants, the following selection criteria shall be used:

1. Urgency of placement, as determined by the Interdisciplinary Treatment Team, and a clearly established need for Interim Assistance in order to implement the Discharge Oriented Service Plan;

2. The potential eligibility of the client for SSI. There should be evidence that the client meets SSI income, resource, citizenship and disability criteria.
