Section 240.610  Establishing Eligibility

a)         Once an application has been submitted to the Case Coordination Unit (CCU), establishing initial eligibility is the joint responsibility of the applicant/authorized representative and the CCU.

b)         It is the responsibility of the applicant/authorized representative to provide the factual information necessary to establish eligibility.  Should the applicant/authorized representative be unable to do so, CCU staff, with the consent of the applicant/authorized representative, will assist in obtaining such information.

c)         If the applicant/authorized representative refuses to give such consent, and information needed for eligibility determination is, therefore, unavailable, the application will be denied.

d)         If a home visit, as required by Section 240.620 is made at the address provided by the applicant/authorized representative and the applicant cannot be located, the application will be denied.
