326.52.22.019-.021
The Department of Public Welfare proposes to adopt
Rules 326.52.22.019-.021. These rules are proposed in
order to comply with federal regulations concerning Ti-
tle XX social services, which require that each state es-tablish a system for the monitoring of its social services
eligibility process.
The purpose of the monitoring system is to determine
that all Title XX contract provider agencies and DPW
social services workers are correctly applying each
eligibility rule identified by regulation. During the com-
ment period, the department will be field testing opera-
tional aspects of this monitoring system.
Written comments are invited and may be sent to
Susan Johnson, Administrator, Systems and Pro-
cedures Bureau-- 431, Department of Public Welfare,
John H. Reagan Building, Austin, Texas 78701, within
30 days of publication of this Register.
These rules are promulgated under the authority of Ar-
ticle 695c, Texas Civil Statutes.
.019. Monitoring the Eligibility Process.
(a) Whether a determination of social services
eligibility is made by the department or by a contract
services provider, procedures will be maintained to
monitor the accuracy of eligibility determination and to
take corrective action as indicated by the results of the
monitoring review.
(b) Each regulatory requirement concerning
eligibility determination with which the department
must comply in order to receive federal matching funds
will be monitored.
.020. Contract Services.
(a) Contract services monitoring is applied to
eligibility determinations made in service provider
agencies under contract to DPW. It does not apply to
eligibility determinations under interagency agree-
ments with state agencies. The eligibility process is
reviewed in each contract provider agency on two
levels.
(b) At the contract services agency level, the
DPW person conducting the review writes a narrative
report at least annually to describe the following:
(1) Who in the contract provider agency (what
level of staff) determines eligibility. The DPW staff
person will sit in on eligibility interviews and briefly de-
scribe the process. Special attention will be given to
whether agency personnel adequately interpret all
client rights and responsibilities. The narrative is to in-
clude a description of how many staff members are in-
volved in the determination process, the estimated cost
of one determination, how many determinations or
redeterminations are completed monthly, and how
much time is spent in each.
(2) How eligibility forms are filed and main-
tained.
(A) What system of control the contract pro-
vider agency has to compare each billing against the
eligibility date and eligibility status each month for
each client billed.Volume 1, Number 73, September 21, 1976
