The notice must be written in plain language and explain the individual's potential eligibility for case management services and, in the case of a child, for family community support services or in the case of an adult, for community support services. The contents of the notice shall comply with Minnesota Statutes, section 245.4881, subdivision 2, paragraph (b), in the case of a child with emotional disturbance or with Minnesota Statutes, section 245.4711, subdivision 2, paragraph (a), in the case of an adult with mental illness. A notice responding to a request or referral for services to a child also must state that the person to whom the notice is addressed may request county assistance in contacting a special mental health consultant to assist in assessing and providing appropriate treatment to a child of a minority race or minority ethnic heritage.
If the local agency does not receive the address of the adult or the child and the child's parent or legal representative from the person referring the adult or the child for case management services, the local agency must attempt to locate the adult or the child and give the adult or the child's parent or legal representative or the child the notice specified in subpart 1.
If the person notified under subpart 1 or 2 does not respond within 30 calendar days after the local agency gives the required notice, the local agency must make a reasonable attempt to contact the person to explain the potential eligibility of the child or adult for case management services.
