Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:37I-5.4
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024
(a) A family shall be considered a participant with an open IFSS case file once an initial intake, assessment of the family's needs and description of services has occurred and the family agrees to further service.
1. IFSS staff shall perform the assessment in a face-to-face setting with the family, unless the family chooses otherwise. In the event that a family chooses not to meet for a face-to-face assessment but wishes to receive services, this fact shall be documented in the record and the case shall be opened.
(b) A family shall remain active as long as it requests the assistance of IFSS.
(c) Criteria shall be developed to establish immediacy of need and priority for service.
(d) If a family does not use IFSS for a period of six months, the PA shall contact the family to assess the need for continued services.
1. If no services are needed at that time, the family's case file shall be closed and the family shall be encouraged to contact IFSS at any time if they want to again use any of the program's services.
2. At the PA's discretion, families with closed IFSS files will remain on the program's contact list and continue to receive announcements unless they indicate otherwise.
3. A family's case file may be reopened at any time in the future, so long as the family continues to qualify for service.
