Section R414-520-4 - Waiver Access(1) The Department periodically assesses funding for the waiver to determine the number of children it may serve.(2) The Department enrolls applicants who meet the level-of-care requirements using the scoring process described in Subsection (1) until the waiver reaches the maximum number of children it may serve. Once the waiver reaches the maximum number of children it may serve, the Department uses a waitlist to monitor interest in the program and to enroll additional children when attrition creates vacancies. The Department attributes a score to children who are enrolled and on the waitlist in accordance with Subsections R414-520-3(2)(d) through (e), and enrolls children based on the highest scores. In the event of multiple enrollees or applicants with the same point value derived from Subsection R414-520-3(2)(d), the Department enrolls children based on the order in which it receives applications until the maximum number of children the waiver may serve is reached.(3) Each calendar quarter, the Department reviews level-of-care annual re-certifications of current enrollees that were completed in the preceding quarter to determine a new minimum qualifying score for entrance or continued enrollment in the waiver. Participants who no longer meet the minimum qualifying score are disenrolled from the waiver.(4) An applicant who is not admitted to the waiver, or a child who is disenrolled from the waiver, may appeal the decision in accordance with 42 CFR 431 Subpart E.Utah Admin.
