Summary
The repealed rule requires individuals to submit an application to show interest in participating in the ICF/ID Transition Program. It also contains a provision that requires the state to contact potentially eligible individuals annually, even if the individual or guardian has informed state staff that they are not interested in participation. The selection process also enrolls an individual evenly from two lists based on length of stay in an ICF/ID and by random selection, and does not require onsite education. Conversely, the reenacted rule no longer requires individuals to submit an application to show interest in program participation, and individuals may "opt-out" of being contacted by the state for a three-year period. The new selection process also enrolls 70% of individuals on the weighted list based on the number of times they apply for the program, their presence on the Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD) waiting list, and their length of stay in an ICF/ID. 30% of individuals will come from a random selection list. Finally, the new rule requires an onsite meeting to educate individuals and their guardians about the program.
