SERVICE COST-SHARING

The purpose of the Service Cost-Sharing Policy is to extend the availability of in-home and community based services administered by the Division of Aging by soliciting from recipients a portion of the cost of services rendered based upon the ability to pay. Revenues collected from service recipients will be retained by the local service provider and used to increase services to existing clients and/or provide in-home and community based services to other individuals in need of such services.

In order to determine the recommended cost-sharing amount, please place a check mark in the space provided next to the income range that most nearly indicates the client’s monthly income. Income includes earnings from wages, pensions, and Social Security benefits as determined by the statement of the client/family member or authorized representative. For additional information on whose income is to be included and the sources of income to be included, please see the Division of Aging’s Service Cost-Sharing Policies and Procedures contained in the Division of Aging Home and Community Care Block Procedures Manual for Community Service Providers.
