1) Customer Does Not Have an Authorized Representative
A customer applying for ALTCS is incapacitated. A social worker completed the financial interview but does not want to be the authorized representative. The social worker thinks the customer has two accounts with a local bank. Neither account was in the Asset Verification Service (AVS) report.
No proof of the bank accounts was provided by the request for information (RFI) due date. The social worker can’t get bank records because no one is authorized to access the customers bank information.
No one can legally represent the customer and they are unable to represent themselves. The customer should be referred to the County Public Fiduciary.
