LAC 50:XXI.11701. Participation in Children’s Choice

A. Children’s Choice Waiver participants who experience a crisis that increases the need for paid supports to a level that cannot be accommodated within the service cap specified in §11301.A on waiver expenditures, may request consideration for a crisis designation. A crisis is defined as a catastrophic change in circumstances rendering the natural and community support system unable to provide for the health and welfare of the participant at the level of benefits offered under Children’s Choice. The procedure in this Chapter has been developed to address these situations.
