(2) Consult with the assistant attorney general when you have not identified a person to receive notice on your behalf per RCW 71A.10.060 to determine if:
(a) You are able to represent yourself; or
(b) You require a legal representative/guardian.
(3) Terminate existing DDD paid services when they reach their authorized end date;
(4) Provide you notice and appeal rights for denied and/or terminated service(s) per WAC 388-825-100 and 388-825-120; and
