30:4-25.20 Single process for determining eligibility for services for individuals with developmental disabilities.
1. a. The Division of Developmental Disabilities in the Department of Human Services, in collaboration with the Division of Children's System of Care in the Department of Children and Families, shall develop a single process for determining eligibility from the two divisions for services for individuals with developmental disabilities who are 18 years of age or over and for individuals who are under 18 years of age, in any case in which the two divisions mutually determine that a single process is clinically appropriate. The process, at a minimum, shall provide for:
(1) a one-time application to be used for determining eligibility for services from the Division of Children's System of Care and the Division of Developmental Disabilities; and
(2) consent for authorizing release of information on the application about an individual with a developmental disability to the Division of Developmental Disabilities at the time services are requested from the Division of Developmental Disabilities for the individual.
b. The Division of Developmental Disabilities may request updated or additional information on specific developmental delays or medically diagnosed mental or physical conditions of an individual with a developmental disability that is necessary to determine eligibility of the individual for the specific services requested.
