HB 2498: Residential habilitation ctr

Funding the care of residents of residential habilitation centers.

Summary

  • Specifies that the financial responsibility of a resident of a Residential Habilitation Center (RHC) applies to the resident's cost of care from the date of admission to the RHC to the end of the resident's stay.
  • Removes the requirement that the Secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services (Secretary) wait until the court appoints a guardian for a resident before the Secretary disburses funds to reimburse the Department of Social and Health Services where there has been a final finding of financial responsibility.
  • Allows the time for an appeal of a finding of financial responsibility to continue to run while the appointment of a guardianship is pending.
  • Requires that the Secretary provide written notice of a determination that an original finding of financial responsibility is to be modified or vacated.
