the NSA remains ineligible, the PA 759 is
completed and hand-carried to the DMH/APS
Worker.
• The PA 759 is annotated by DMH/APS and
returned to the worker within two workdays.
Step 2 – Administrative Approval
• Once the PA 759 is returned from the DMH/APS
staff, the original PA 759 and needed supporting
documentation is submitted to the DDD for
confirmation of the proposed action.
NOTE: Termination action is only taken when
the DDD agrees that the case should
be terminated.
Step 3 – Allowing a Grace Period For Loss of
Contact
• A grace period of five workdays is allowed
before completing the denial or termination
action when the reason for the adverse action is
“loss of contact.”
• Day one of the five day grace period begins on
the first workday following the due date for the
requested documents or the appointment date.
• The five day grace period does not include the
two workdays that DMH/APS staff has to return
the completed PA 759.

Are there special management responsibilities
for NSA cases?
Yes, there are several areas of responsibility:
• Meetings with DMH/APS
At least once a month, the DD and DDD are to
meet with the DMH/APS Worker and his/her
supervisor to discuss the co-location project and
to resolve any identified problems. If districts
share DMH/APS staff, representatives from
each district attend the meetings.
