§ 435.365. Assistance to parent or other relative caring for certain persons with intellectual disabilities or developmental disabilities or young child with certain developmental delays: Eligibility; regulations; waiting list; final administrative decision

1. To the extent that money is available for that purpose, whenever a person with

an intellectual disability or a person with a developmental disability is cared for

by a parent or other relative with whom the person lives, that parent or relative

is eligible to receive assistance on a monthly basis from the Division for each such

person who lives and is cared for in the home if the Division finds that: (a) The person with an intellectual disability or the person with a developmental

disability has been diagnosed as having a profound or severe intellectual disability

or developmental disability or, if he or she is under 6 years of age, has developmental

delays that require support that is equivalent to the support required by a person

with a profound or severe intellectual disability or a person with a profound or severe

developmental disability; (b) The person with an intellectual disability or the person with a developmental

disability is receiving adequate care; and (c) The person with an intellectual disability or the person with a developmental

disability and the parent or other relative with whom the person lives is not reasonably

able to pay for his or her care and support. The amount of the assistance must be established by legislative appropriation for

each fiscal year. 2. The Administrator shall adopt regulations: (a) Which establish a procedure of application for assistance; (b) For determining the eligibility of an applicant pursuant to subsection 1; and (c) For determining the amount of assistance to be provided to an eligible applicant. 3. The Administrator shall establish a waiting list for applicants who are eligible

for assistance but who are denied assistance because the legislative appropriation

is insufficient to provide assistance for all eligible applicants. 4. The decision of the Administrator regarding eligibility for assistance or the amount

of assistance to be provided is a final administrative decision.
