Section 50265 - Adjustment by Regional Center Executive Director(a) Adjustment to the assessed amount of the family cost participation may be made by the regional center executive director for a substantiated unavoidable and uninsured catastrophic loss that would temporarily limit the ability of the parents to pay and create a direct economic impact if the amount of the family cost participation were not reduced. Unavoidable and uninsured catastrophic losses may include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, an accident or major injuries to an immediate family member, or extraordinary medical expenses. The executive director may also make an adjustment for significant unreimbursed medical costs associated with the care for a child who is a regional center consumer.(b) Direct economic impact means that the result of not granting the adjustment would deprive the family of what is needed for basic family necessities, including but not limited to, food, shelter, clothing, or medical care. A direct economic impact is a substantial change that impacts more than just the family's standard of living.(c) Adjustments made pursuant to this Section shall be calculated by deducting the documented non-reimbursed dollar cost of the direct economic impact request from the gross annual income, and then re-assessing the amount of family cost participation by applying the Family Cost Participation Schedule against the reduced income amount.(d) Family cost participation assessments that have been adjusted as a result of the regional center executive director granting an adjustment shall be re-determined at least annually.Cal.
