• The gram is forwarded to the B&C Liaison for
faxing to SOS/VPU.
NOTE: The B&C living arrangement cannot be
input to LEADER until SOS/VPU adds the facility
to the listing.
• A 10-day Future Action Control (FAC) is set by
the Worker for the response from SOS/VPU. If
no response is received in ten workdays, the
B&C Liaison contacts SOS/VPU.
• Once the two-way fax response has been
received, indicating the facility has been added to
the list, the case may be processed.
GR 45-105 Placement
by DHS
How is the effective date of B&C determined if
the individual is placed in B&C by the
Department of Health Services (DHS)?
• In rare situations, DHS notifies the district that
they have placed an individual in a B&C facility.
In this situation, the application for GR is obtained
as soon as possible, but no later than the date of
the office interview or eligibility home call. B&C
may be paid to the facility for up to the seven
calendar days without a GR application. The
effective date of aid for B&C placements made by
DHS is the date the individual entered the facility.
• Case Comments are updated with placement
information.
• The B&C vendor is paid the B&C rate for up to
seven calendar days if the individual leaves the
facility before making a GR application. No
payment for personal, incidental, and clothing
allowance is made. The period of eligibility is
based on the date the individual entered the B&C
facility through the last day the individual slept at
the B&C facility (not to exceed seven calendar
days).
EXAMPLE:
DHS places an individual in a B&C facility on June 5.
The effective date of aid is June 5. The individual
leaves the facility on June 12 before making a GR
application; the facility may receive payment for B&C
from June 5 through June 11. Payment beyond
