Section 3A:22-1.5 - Service limitations
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The Department shall provide needed services within the limits of legislative appropriations to all eligible children, their adoptive families, and their birth families in similar circumstances. The provision of services shall also be subject to limitations due to actual ability of the Department to provide such services directly or by purchasing such services from appropriate, certified, privately sponsored agencies or institutions.
(b) The demand for social services frequently exceeds the funds available to provide them. Therefore, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 30:4C-13, the Division Director may establish Division-wide service limitations based upon the need to focus finite resources to serve those individuals most in need. Service limitations shall be published within 90 days of imposition in the Public Notices section of the New Jersey Register.
