Section 6653.6 - EISEP services in area plans

(a) An area agency participating in EISEP may propose expanded nonmedical in-home, noninstitutional respite, case management, and ancillary services for functionally impaired elderly pursuant to section 6653.1 of this Part.

(b) Each EISEP service in the area plan shall specify:

(1) its intended goals and objectives;

(2) the elderly population to be served;

(3) proposed methods to assure correct use of the standardized assessment procedure prescribed by the office pursuant to this Chapter; and

(4) proposed methods to implement the cost-sharing requirements of this Chapter, including provision of an opportunity for applicants for or recipients of EISEP services to contest determinations of functional ineligibility or levels of required cost-sharing (provided, however, that, despite functional eligibility, an area agency may deny services to applicants based on lack of program resources, and further provided that no entitlement to services is created under this Chapter).
