(2)Reporting of changes. The applicant or the applicant's designated responsible party as certified in the application is required to report to the authority any changes that may affect eligibility within ten business days of the occurrence of the change. Failure to do so may result in the applicant's responsibility to repay HCBS rent subsidy funds and termination of the HCBS rent subsidy.

(3)Insufficient funding. If funds are not sufficient to cover payments for all recipients under the HCBS rent subsidy program, recipients shall be terminated from the program in inverse order based on the date of the approved application, such that the most recently approved recipients shall be terminated from the program first, and the recipient terminated from the program shall be placed back on the waiting list, with the recipient's original approval date dictating the recipient's position on the waiting list.
