Section 44.204 - ReassessmentsA provider must reassess an individual annually and any time there is a change in the individual's status, as follows:
(1) Annual reassessments. A provider must annually reassess an individual in accordance with § 44.203 of this subchapter (relating to Assessment and Eligibility Determination). The provider must complete each on-site annual reassessment no later than one year after the service initiation date and no later than one year after each reassessment.(2) Reassessment upon change in individual status. When a provider learns that an individual's status may have changed in a way that may affect the individual's eligibility for or receipt of services, the provider must reassess the individual. In doing so, the provider may consider only those factors in § 44.203 of this subchapter that have changed since the previous assessment. A change in individual status that requires reassessment may include a change in: (A) income, deductions, or exclusions; or(B) the individual's need for attendant care services, the service plan, or the hours of service.(3) Notice of eligibility. A provider must send a notice of eligibility and, if applicable, notice of the right to a fair hearing to an individual within five working days after a reassessment using the DADS Notification of Community Services form.40 Tex.
