The Department of Human Services shall determine eligibility for TBI services within seven working days after receiving the documentation.
The Department of Human Services shall notify the individual and the individual's parent, guardian, spouse, or authorized representative, as appropriate, and the service provider of the eligibility determination within seven working days. If the individual is determined ineligible, the notice shall include the reason for the determination of ineligibility, the specific regulations supporting the action, an explanation of the individual's right to request a fair hearing, the procedure for requesting a fair hearing, the right to be represented by others at the hearing, and the time within which a hearing may be requested.
