(1) The department may reduce the scope of CSHCN services and impose or revise funding limitations on certain services when required for budgetary reasons to accommodate available funding.
(2) Financial eligibility for a client must be determined annually when health-related services and equipment are paid for with CSHCN funds. Financial eligibility will be determined according to national standards of living for low-income families such as federal poverty levels or state median income adjusted for family size. Financial eligibility is not entitlement to CSHCN services.
