Before any services may be authorized or financial assistance provided, a written application must be submitted to the CSHS program by the parent or legal guardian of the child seeking assistance using forms and process designated by CSHS. Specific information required to determine eligibility for financial assistance is child's chronic medical condition, proof of family income as listed on the most recent tax return or proof of current monthly income, and family size. Reapplication is required yearly or upon a change in family financial status or family size.
Applicants for CSHS financial assistance must apply for benefits from other programs for which they may be eligible. The CSHS program may pay only after it has been determined the applicant is not eligible for other programs. The CSHS program shall review all applications for possible eligibility for other programs and shall make applicable referrals.
