(1) Subject to available funding, the department shall establish a room and board voucher program to support chemical dependency treatment for individuals who would otherwise be unable to access the treatment in a timely manner because of financial barriers.

(5) A participating treatment program:
(a) may submit vouchers for payment of room and board provided to a qualifying individual as soon as costs are incurred if other payment sources are not immediately available;
(b) shall report any change in an individual's income or insurance status that makes the individual ineligible for further voucher payments;
