What is the coding for various treatment situations?

How are cash payments issued for GW/W01?
· ACES issues a Personal Needs Allowance (PNA) grant to GW/W01 clients in Inpatient treatment. The PNA is issued to the treatment center listed on the AREP screen on behalf of the client.
· ACES does not issue cash payments for clients eligible to receive ADATSA outpatient treatment. Individual counties issue cash payments on these cases.
· ACES displays the cash benefit amount on the CAFI screen as it is used in the eligibility calculation. This benefit will not display in benefit history.
· In most situations, the county pays the client the same amount they would have been received from the state. However, it is the responsibility of the county to keep the CSO informed of the client's cash benefit amount. The counties source of funding for this program is the same as for the state so the client is still considered to be receiving public assistance.
What effect does ADATSA have on Basic Food assistance?
· Communication between the county and CSO in this situation is important as the county is responsible to report to the CSO the amount of payment being made to the client. This cash payment is used to compute Basic Food benefits if eligible.
· If the household is receiving Basic Food, code the amount of the cash grant being paid by the county on the UNER screen as [OF] – Other Countable FS Only for the benefit computation to be correct. See BASIC FOOD PROGRAM.
· When a client is residing in a treatment facility, the treatment facility may be eligible to receive Basic Food benefits on a client’s behalf as an authorized representative. See EAZ Manual – WAC 388-420-0010 Alcohol and drug treatment centers. For coding instructions, see Authorized Representative. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
