Subchapter 2 - ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Section 3A:40-2.3 - Presumptive eligibility for functional services

(a) If the applicant appears to be eligible for functional services and manifests an emergent need for services from the CSOC, then the applicant may be declared presumptively eligible by the CSOC or its contracted entity and the eligibility determination process shall be completed subsequent to the admission to service. If the person is found ineligible and has been receiving services under presumptive eligibility, immediate referral shall be made to the appropriate agency or agencies for services. That individual or his or her guardian shall be notified in writing that services will cease in 30 days.

(b) If the individual appeals the decision of ineligibility in accordance with N.J.A.C. 3A:40-5, then the individual may continue to receive services to the extent that they were initially authorized to ameliorate the emergency or until a Final Decision is rendered by the Director, whichever occurs first.
