(1) The department will implement a statewide waitlist if program expenditures or enrollment exceeds availability of demonstration funding.

(2) If the department implements a waitlist for new MAC and TSOA applicants:

(a) We will stop conducting presumptive eligibility determinations and financial and functional eligibility assessments.

(b) We may reduce benefit limits for step one, two, and three to maintain department spending within available demonstration funding. If we reduce benefit limits, individuals currently receiving benefits will maintain their current benefit level, including those with approved presumptive eligibility.

(c) If additional funding becomes available, applicants on a waitlist for MAC or TSOA services will be considered on a first come first serve basis based upon their request date for MAC or TSOA services.
