Subpart 1. Local agency determination.

Upon receipt of the report of the mental health professional conducting or updating a diagnostic assessment required under part 9520.0908, the local agency must promptly determine whether the child meets a criterion in part 9520.0902, subpart 8, or whether the adult meets a criterion in part 9520.0902, subpart 38.

Subp. 2. Notice of determination.

The local agency shall notify, in writing, the child's parent or legal representative and the child or the adult of the determination about the child's or the adult's eligibility for case management services unless case management services have already been initiated for the child or adult.

Subp. 3. Eligible client referred to provider.

If the client is determined to be eligible for case management services and if consent for the services is obtained, the local agency shall refer the client to a case management provider for case management services.

Subp. 4. Referral of adult with mental illness or child with emotional disturbance.

If the local agency determines the child to have an emotional disturbance but not to have a severe emotional disturbance or determines the adult to have a mental illness but not to have a serious and persistent mental illness, the local agency shall offer to refer the client to a mental health provider or other appropriate service provider and to assist the client to make an appointment with a provider chosen by the child's parent or legal representative or the child or by the adult.

Subp. 5. Refusal.

The parent or legal representative of a child or the child or adult who is determined eligible for case management services may refuse the case management services. However, the refusal does not affect the client's eligibility to receive case management services or other mental health services for which the client is eligible.
