(a) Allowances and grants to the aged, blind or disabled shall be determined and payments shall be made in accordance with applicable department regulations.
(b) Grants to a child or minor who is blind or disabled shall be made as follows:
(1) A
grant for a blind child or minor under age 18 who is not emancipated, shall be
made to a related adult member of the household who is caring for the
child.
(2) A grant for an
emancipated minor shall be made directly to the minor unless he is physically
or mentally unable to handle the grant. In such case, a protective payment
shall be made in accordance with department regulations.
(3) Grants to cases receiving vocational
rehabilitation services from Vocational Rehabilitation Service or Office of
Vocational Rehabilitation. A social services district shall grant or continue
AABD assistance to an eligible applicant or recipient during the period such
individual is receiving vocational rehabilitation services from VRS or OVR,
insofar as need for assistance is not caused by or increased by the program of
rehabilitation. Such assistance shall not include the allowance provided by the
rehabilitation agency to cover the cost of vocational services, which may
include physical restoration services, training opportunities, necessary books
and tools, and other related services required for the purpose of restoring,
developing or improving the working ability of handicapped persons. When a
person is in receipt of such services and AABD, cooperative planning shall be
entered into by the two agencies based on the following principles:
(i) The social services district, which is
granting AABD to an individual applying for or receiving vocational
rehabilitation services, shall continue the grant during the period he is
receiving training, provided he remains otherwise eligible.
(ii) When the vocational rehabilitation
program requires the recipient to reside out of district or out of State, AABD
assistance shall be continued as long as the recipient remains in training and
is otherwise eligible.
(iii) In
instances where there is no duplication of shelter costs because of the new
residence plan required by the rehabilitation services, the shelter item shall
be included in the grant.
(iv) Upon
notification that the recipient has been accepted for vocational rehabilitation
services, the social services official shall provide that agency with a
detailed statement of the current grant and of any subsequent change during the
training period.
(v) If the
recipient who is in training requires medical treatment or hospitalization not
directly connected with the treatment of conditions which directly affect the
employability of the recipent; this shall be provided under MA.
