SUBJECT: Approval of Standard Form FY 1992-1993 Novation Emergency Residential Care
Placement Agreements with Licensed Board and Care Facility Operators (Adult
Mental Health Program)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
a. Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Patricia
Roach) to execute on behalf of the County Standard Form Novation Emergency
Residential Care Placement Agreements with the licensed board and care facility
operators listed on the attached addendum, effective July 1, 1992 through June
30, 1993, to provide emergency residential care to mentally disturbed adults who
are potentially eligible for SSI/SSP, with maximum payments of $639 per client
per month through December 1992 and maximum payments of $654 per client per month
beginning January 1, 1993. These documents include automatic six-month
extensions for the period from June 30, 1993 through December 31, 1993.
b. Authorize the Auditor-Controller to pay a maximum of $85.00 per month through
December 1992 and a maximum of $87 per month beginning January 1, 1993 to clients
who are placed in the board and care facilities under said Emergency Residential
Care Placement Agreements for incidental expenses and personal needs.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Under this program, the County pays the State-established rates for the residential
care of mental health clients who are not yet receiving SSI/SSP (but who are
potentially eligible and have made formal application to the Social Security
Administration for 'SSI/SSP) , contingent upon the client's signing an agreement with
the County to reimburse the County from the SSI/SSP money, once it is finally granted
by the federal government (usually 3 to 6 months retroactively back to the month of
application) .
For those mental health clients who are not granted SSI/SSP (i.e. , are found
ineligible,) , the County covers the residential care payments to the facility operators
through the County's established Mental Health Program Funding. Initially, ten to
twenty percent of the clients are found ineligible by the Federal Social Security
Administration, depending on changes in Federal guidelines, and then some of these
are ultimately found eligible through appeal processes.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For several years, the County's Mental Health Adult Services Program has used these
Agreements as an interim financing mechanism to facilitate the residential care of
mentally disabled clients and movement of clients, who are deemed eligible for
SSI/SSP, from State or local inpatient facilities to community-based facilities. This
Program provides residential care for 40 to 50 clients per year.
