Illinois Statutes Chapter 405. Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities § 80/2-6. Application

§ 2-6. An application for the Program shall be submitted to the Department by the adult with a mental disability or, if the adult with a mental disability requires a guardian, by his or her legal guardian. If the application for participation in the Program is approved by the Department and the adult with a mental disability is eligible to receive services under this Article, the adult with a mental disability shall be made aware of the availability of a community support team and shall be offered case management services. The amount of the home-based services provided by the Department in any month shall be determined by the service plan of the adult with a mental disability, but in no case shall it be more than either:

Upon approval of the Department, all or part of the monthly amount approved for home-based services to participating adults may be used as a one-time or continuing payment to the eligible adult or the adult's parent or guardian to pay for specified tangible items that are directly related to meeting basic needs related to the person's mental disabilities.

Tangible items include, but are not limited to: adaptive equipment, medication not covered by third-party payments, nutritional supplements, and residential modifications.
