2.The County will process 85% of Special Assistance for the Disabled(SAD)applications within 60 calendar days of the <br /> application date. <br /> RATIONALE <br /> Individuals in need of placement in an assisted living facility generally require prompt placement to avoid <br /> further decline in health or possible harm. State-County Special Assistance (SA) pays for room and board for <br /> eligible individuals in a licensed assisted living facility. Eligibility for SA also qualifies an individual to receives <br /> Medicaid benefits. Timely receipt of these benefits is essential to ensure proper care and treatment. DSS staff <br /> are required to verify several factors to determine eligibility related to income and assets. <br /> While the state rule does not speak to a percentage rate, 85% was selected because counties may encounter <br /> extenuating circumstances that preclude them from completing a timely determination of eligibility. Timely <br /> determination for 85%of applications indicates substantial compliance with the Rule. <br /> BASIS <br /> State regulations require that applications be processed and a notice approving or denying the application <br /> stating the effective date of the payment be mailed within 60 calendar days from the date the application <br /> form is signed for individuals younger than 65. <br /> • NC Administrative Rule: 10A NCAC 71P .0604 <br /> P moi, NC DEPARTMENT OF <br /> 12 HEALTH AND NC Department of Health and Human Services • www.ncdhhs.gov <br /> HUMAN SERVICES NCDHHS is an equal opportunity employer and provider. • 5/2022 <br /> 3 of 3 <br />
