ure All individuals receive standardized information and experience the same eligibility determination and enrollment
processes.Develop standardized informational materials that NWD/SEPs provide to individuals
3 months Informational materials
Train all participating agencies/staff on eligibility determination and enrollment processes
18 months Training agenda and schedule
A single eligibility coordinator, “case management system,” or otherwise coordinated process guides the individual through the entire functional and financial eligibility determination process. Functional and financial assessment data or results are accessible to NWD/SEP staff so that eligibility determination and access to services can occur in a timely fashion. (The timing below corresponds to a system with an automated Level I screen, an automated Level II assessment and an automated case management system. NWD/SEP systems based on paper processes should require less time.)
