BACKGROUND j
On January 8, 1985, the Board approved standard form Emergency Residential Care Place-
ment Agreements with 27 residential care facility operators for the period January 1; 1985
through June 30, 1985, with automatic six-month extensions through December 31, 1985.
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 three to six months retroactively back to the month of application). Foi those
mental health clients who are not granted SSI/SSP (i.e. , are found ineligible), the County
claims 90% State Short-Doyle reimbursement for the residential care funds that the County
has paid to the facility operators, with the remaining 10% balance being County matching
funds. Ten to twenty percent of the clients are found ineligible by the Social Security
Administration, depending on changes in federal guidelines and then some of these are ulit-
mately found eligible through appeal processes.
This Emergency Residential Care Placement Agreement has been prepared in the standard
format approved by County Counsel's Office and is in the process of being signed by the
facility operator.
