Waiting list

(a) As a result of the limitation of the number of slots and/or funding, the Department shall establish and maintain a statewide waiting list for the Personal Care Assistance Waiver program when the Department has filled its maximum allocation of slots or reached the funding level in the approved waiver. Names shall be placed on the waiting list in the same order as the "Personal Care Assistance Request" form is received in Central Office. (b) When an opening occurs, applications shall be solicited by contacting consumers in the order their names appear on the waiting list. (c) A consumer is removed from the waiting list if he or she: (1) asks to be removed; (2) moves out of state; (3) reaches age 65; or (4) is deceased.
