Instructions for Special Assistance In-Home Approvals for Individuals

with Verified Supported Housing Slots.

3. The first county must terminate the SAIH case.

4. Transfer the Medicaid case to the second county.

management assessment.

D. Absences of More Than 30 Days

If the a/b’s absence due to hospitalization, facility placement, or temporary absence exceeds 30 days or is expected to exceed 30 days, the Adult Services Case Manager (or LME/MCO Transition Coordinator) must immediately notify the IMC of the change in the client’s situation. Upon receiving this information, the IMC will initiate termination procedures for the client’s participation in the SAIH Program. (Reference XI.C-D in the State/County Special Assistance In-Home Case Management Manual for additional information.)
