16 Del. Admin. Code § 25000-25400
Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 7, January 1, 2025
Program eligibility is contingent upon a finding that non-institutional care is appropriate and services are available (DSSM 25100). The community-based setting must meet the child's needs safely and effectively to be appropriate. To fulfill this requirement, the Division will assess both the physical and social environment within the community-based setting. Given the State's strong preference for non-institutional care of children, denial of eligibility based on environmental deficits is disfavored. If eligibility is jeopardized by environmental deficits, the division will affirmatively attempt to eliminate or reduce such deficits to an acceptable level through Departmental and community resources.
