If the costs of an eligible person's personal assistance services are covered in whole or in part by another State or federal government program or insurance contract, the government program or insurance carrier shall be the primary payer and the personal assistance services program shall be the secondary payer.
c. The eligible person receiving personal assistance services and the personal assistant shall sign time sheets attesting to the hours of service rendered, and the personal assistant shall then be paid through the fiscal intermediary service organization.
