a) During DLA planning, financial support for the recipient's continued treatment/habilitation services and other needs must be considered. Designated staff will assist the recipient, family or guardian in understanding their respective liabilities for treatment/habilitation and in accessing available financial resources. The required authorizations to investigate or access assets, income or benefits must be secured.
b) Sources to contact for information are the recipient, family or guardian at admission, during treatment/habilitation or prior to discharge. Sources which may be considered include insurance carriers, funding agencies, e.g., Social Security offices, federal fiscal intermediaries (Blue Cross/Blue Shield or E.D.S. Federal Corporation), and the Department of Public Aid (the single State agency for Medicaid and administering agency for public assistance and the State supplement), and township assistance agencies.
c) Resources which may be available for support based on recipient eligibility include:
When a recipient aged 3 to 21 years is handicapped as defined in Section 14-1.02 of the School Code [105 ILCS 5/14-1.02 ] and has not been graduated from high school, the recipient is probably eligible to receive special education services from a local school district. The parent or guardian should be assisted in obtaining these services or funding.
There is a variety of purchase of care programs for the mentally ill, developmentally disabled or alcohol abusers for which individuals may qualify.
