_____________________________________________________________

The individual who signs DFA Form 800, DFA Form 800MA, or New HEIGHTS-generated Form 800HR to apply for Home Care for Children with Severe Disabilities (HC-CSD) on behalf of the child must provide verification of *medical assistance eligibility criteria except for deprivation of parental care and support.

• Require written verification of the child's age.

If a preliminary determination of eligibility, including a manual computation of financial eligibility, indicates the child would be eligible for HC-CSD medical assistance, the Disability Determination Unit (DDU) requires all of the following for the medical eligibility determination:

• A separate DDU Form 900, Authorization for Release of Medical Records and Information, for each provider listed on the Form 968;

• DDU Form 940, Cover Memo for Medical Eligibility Information;

• DDU Form 968, Family Information Report; and

• A copy of the child's Individual Education Plan (IEP) or "504" Plan, if available.

DDU is responsible for requesting additional information or verification, if required, to complete the HC-CSD medical eligibility determination.
