R6-6-1202. Determination of the Cost of Care Portion for Services

A. The Cost of Care Portion Table (Appendix A) shows the percentage of the cost of services that a client is responsible for paying. B. The Cost of Care Portion Table (Appendix A) also shows the percentage of the cost of services that the parent of a minor client is responsible for paying. 1. If the parents of a client are not married to each other, the Division determines the cost of care portion based on the custodial parent’s income. 2. If the parent is married to an individual who is not legally responsible for the client, the Division determines the parent’s cost of care portion using the community income, plus any sole and separate income of the parent. 3. If a parent has more than one minor client receiving services from the Division, the parent’s cost of care portion shall not exceed the maximum amount the parent would be required to pay for the minor client receiving the most expensive services.
