difference between the B&C and R&B rates for up to
three months of the period the renewal license was
pending. If the license continues to be pending after
the three month period, payments to the facility will
be discontinued and the facility will be required to
refer the individual to the districts. If otherwise
eligible, R&B payments will be paid directly to the
individual.
Refer to GR 44-212 for details on R&B.
NOTE: A B&C facility whose license will expire prior
to receipt of the renewed license, will
continue to be paid at the B&C rate if, after
contacting the State Licensing Section, the
SOS/VPU determines that the B&C facility
applied for the renewal, complied with State
requirements and the renewal is in the
process of being issued.

Revoked/Suspended
License
What happens when an individual is in a B&C
facility with a revoked or suspended license?
When this occurs, SOS/VPU notifies the facility to
refer individuals to the district office for change of
status from B&C to R&B payments. SOS/VPU also
notifies the appropriate district B&C Liaison. In this
situation, the R&B rate is paid directly to the
individual.
Refer to GR 44-212 for details regarding R&B.
GR 45-104 New B&C
Facility
What needs to be done if an individual is in a
B&C facility that is not on the SOS/VPU approved
listing?
When an individual is in a B&C facility that is not on
the approved listing:
• The license is verified.
Refer to GR 45-103 for details on licensing.
• A two-way fax gram, Request to Add Vendor to
the Approved Board & Care Listing, (an out of
drawer form) is prepared to request that the
facility/vendor be added to the listing. A copy of
the actual license is attached to the gram, if
available. If the facility has not provided the
district with a copy of the license, SOS/VPU is
responsible for obtaining the copy.
