§ 22.040. DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR COMMUNITY CARE
SERVICES FOR ELDERLY PERSONS OR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. The
department by rule shall develop and 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.
