Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 02, November 27, 2024
Section 660-5-2-.10 - Income Scales And Fee Schedules
(1) In order to provide services to the greatest number of individuals, the Department offsets costs by charging fees based on income and family size for some services. Refer to Appendix A for current fee schedules and income scales for applicable services.
(2) "Family" means the basic family unit consisting of an adult and his or her spouse (including common-law) and children under 18 (or under 21 if in school) related by blood, marriage or adoption who are residing in the same household. A member of this basic family unit temporarily out of the home--for example, attending school but returning for holidays and vacations, or hospitalized--continues to be considered a part of the family. Considered as separate families are:
(a) Related persons 18 years of age or over, other than spouses, who live together;
(b) Unrelated persons 18 years of age or over who live together;
(c) Children for whom the Department, another State Department, or licensed child-placing agency has legal custody or planning responsibility and who are in need of placement in a foster care facility with the following exception: If the Department, another State Department or licensed child-placing agency has only planning responsibility for children in need of Residential Care Services for Individuals with Exceptional Needs, these children must be considered a part of their own family in determining eligibility;
(d) Children for whom the Department has custody or planning responsibility who are living with relatives other than parents; and
(e) Individuals under 18 years of age who are:
1. married; or
2. self-supporting and living apart from the basic family unit; or
3. grantee relatives for their own children or siblings (for purposes of considering family income).
