Page 2 of 2 § 10:69-5.6 Requirements with respect to deprivation of parental support or care in AFDC-C 1. In cases where AFDC-C has been granted on the basis that a natural or adoptive parent will be receiving care for a physical or mental illness in a public or private institution, it shall be necessary for the eligibility worker to check periodically with the family, and in some cases with the institution, regarding the incapacitated parent's progress and discharge. 2. As soon as the date of discharge is known, or if the CSSA learns that the parent has already been discharged to his or her home, the CSSA shall submit the required record material to the Disability Review Section as appropriate to the situation; that is, if official determination of incapacity had already been made, the previous record shall be submitted for review with a completed Form DRS-2A; if the case had not been previously submitted, then a DRS-2 giving current situation and Form DRS-1 (Examining Physician's Report) shall be submitted. Whenever practical, the DRS-1 form should be prepared by a staff physician of the institution. 3. An abstract of the hospital record may be accepted in place of Form DRS-1, when the parent is in the hospital or has been released within the past three months. The client's consent in writing for release of the information shall accompany the request. History HISTORY: Amended by R.2017 d.209, effective December 4, 2017.
