Sec. 46a-11f. (Formerly Sec. 19a-458e). Evaluation of person's ability to pay.
Review of plan of protective services. (a) Concurrent with the implementation of any
protective services for which payment is required, an evaluation shall be undertaken by
the commissioner regarding the ability of the person with mental retardation to pay for
the protective services. If the person is so able, procedures for reimbursement for the
cost of providing the services shall be initiated. If it is determined that the person is not
capable of paying for such services, the services shall be provided in accordance with
policies and procedures established by the Commissioner of Developmental Services.
(b) Subsequent to the initial provision of protective services, the Department of
Developmental Services shall review each case, including meeting with the person with
mental retardation at least once every six months, to determine whether continuation
or modification of the services is warranted. Said department shall advise the director
relative to the continuation of protective services for each such person with mental
retardation. The commissioner may terminate protective services upon the request of
the person with mental retardation or his guardian, pursuant to section 46a-11e, or upon
agreement by the commissioner and the director that such services are no longer required.
(c) In performing the duties set forth in sections 46a-11c to 46a-11g, inclusive, the
director may request the assistance of the staffs and resources of all appropriate state
departments, agencies, commissions and local health directors, and may utilize any
other public or private agencies, groups or individuals who are appropriate and may be
available.
