Compilation of Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia › Department 690 - RULES OF GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN'S SERVICES › Chapter 690-1 - FEE FOR RESIDENCY IN A FACILITY OF THE GEORGIA STATE WAR VETERANS HOME › Rule 690-1-.01 - Purposes

Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
(1) The purpose of this rule is to implement
			 O.C.G.A §
								38-4-56, for the Veterans Service
			 Board to provide for a reasonable fee for residency in and services provided by
			 a facility of the Georgia State War Veterans' Home (SVH); to provide for a full
			 or partial waiver of such fee based on economic need; such fee waivers shall be
			 established on a sliding scale based on established criteria, including,
			 without limitation, consideration of assets, income and other
			 resources.
(2) The philosophy of
			 the Veterans Service Board for establishing a reasonable fee to be charged to
			 veteran patients by the SVHs is the fee shall be directly related to and will
			 not exceed the maximum value of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
			 Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefit for single veterans with no income, as
			 established and periodically adjusted by the VA under the rules of Title 38 of
			 the United States Code (USC).
(3)
			 O.C.G.A. §
								38-4-56(b) indicates
			 a primary focus for collection of any fees under this Code Section is the VA's
			 A&A benefit as the primary example of an assignment source. Accordingly,
			 the purpose of this rule is to establish and collect a reasonable fee based on
			 the value of the VA's A&A benefit, as defined elsewhere in this
			 rule.
(4) The funds collected in
			 accordance with this Chapter will be used to provide a place of residency for
			 and services to the veteran patients of the SVHs, maintenance and operations of
			 the SVHs, and to augment the funding of operations of the SVHs, which are
			 primarily supported through state appropriations and VA per diem
			 payments.
(5) The purpose of the
			 VA's A&A benefit is to assist veterans in paying the direct costs of their
			 medical care. By federal law under Title 38 USC, the VA's A&A benefit is
			 paid to the veterans and the veterans are responsible to pay the provider(s) of
			 medical care for the care and services received.
(6) In accordance with VA rules and
			 regulations veteran patients of SVHs receiving VA pension benefits are able to
			 file claims with the VA to obtain the A&A benefit. As part of those claims,
			 the income verifications contain information on the amount of moneys paid for
			 medical care by the veterans, regardless of providers, to include fees paid to
			 SVHs. Thus, depending on the VA rules and regulations and approval by the VA,
			 eligible veteran patients may get all or part of the fees paid to SVHs refunded
			 back to them by the VA.

			 services provided by SVHs to be collected from veteran patients of SVHs is to
			 augment funding for the operation of the SVHs in addition to the funding
			 provided by state appropriations and VA per diem payments. Funds collected from
			 the Daily Fees will be used for the maintenance and operations of the SVHs, to
			 include the operations of the VFSOs located at the SVHs that are directly
			 related to the administration of this Chapter, and will not be used to support
			 other programs of the Department of Veterans Service, or the State of
			 Georgia.
(2)
The
			 Veterans Service Board Authority.
(a) Retained Authority. The Veterans Service
			 Board retains authority for approval of fee amount adjustments not related to
			 the value of the VA's A&A benefit.
(b) The Veterans Service Board authorizes the
			 Commissioner of Veterans Service, or designee, to periodically adjust the value
			 of the Daily Fee to be charged to the veteran patients of the SVHs, when the
			 adjustment is related to a change to the value of the VA's A&A benefit.
1. The Commissioner of Veterans Service, or
			 designee, will inform the Veterans Service Board in writing of all such
			 adjustments, as information for the board, at least 60 days prior to the
			 implementation of the adjusted fee. The Veterans Service Board may disapprove
			 these fee adjustments at least 45 days prior to the projected implementation of
			 the adjusted fee.
2. The
			 Commissioner of Veterans Service, or designee, will notify in writing all
			 veteran patients and their primary family members of adjustments to the value
			 of the Daily Fee at least 30 days prior to the implementation of the adjusted
			 fee.

			 determine eligibility to request a waiver from paying the Daily Fee.
(c) The Veterans Service Board

Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
(1)
State
			 Charter School Petitions
. The state charter school petition is a
			 proposal to create a new charter school or to renew the charter of an existing
			 charter school. The petition serves to describe and summarize the charter
			 school's mission and proposed operations. The petition shall address all
			 applicable requirements of the Charter Schools Act of 1998, as amended (O.C.G.A
			 §§
								20-2-2060 through 
			  20-2-2071), requirements
			 applicable to state charter schools as provided by O.C.G.A §
								20-2-2084, State Board of
			 Education Rules applicable to charter schools, and State Charter Schools
			 Commission of Georgia (SCSC) Rules. The petition shall also address the charter
			 school's capacity to adhere to the responsibilities of operating as a Local
			 Education Agency (LEA) and operating with the funding provided to state charter
			 schools rather than the funding provided to locally-approved charter
			 schools.
(2)
Effect of
			 Charter School Petitions and Charters
. A charter school petition is not
			 a charter or contract and has no binding nature or legal enforceability. The
			 submission of a state charter petition does not guarantee that the SCSC will
			 approve the petition or authorize the charter school. If a charter school
			 petition is approved by the SCSC, the SCSC and charter petitioner will then
			 execute a charter. The provisions of the charter may depart from provisions in
			 the charter petition. The charter, rather than the petition, is the
			 performance-based contract by which the state charter school and SCSC shall be
			 bound.
(3)
Eligible
			 Petitioners for State Charter Schools
. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. §
								20-2-2084, a charter school
			 petitioning for authorization by the SCSC must either:
(a) Have a state-wide attendance zone;
or
(b) Have a defined
			 attendance zone and demonstrate that the charter school has special
			 characteristics, such as a special population, a special curriculum, or some
			 other feature or features which enhance educational opportunities.

									20-2-2083(b)(4).
(b) The results of SCSC monitoring will be
					included in SCSC evaluations of state charter school performance under their
					charter contracts and SCSC Comprehensive Performance Framework. The SCSC may

									20-2-2068 and  SCSC Rule
					  691-2-.04  based on the findings of its
					monitoring activities.
(c) The SCSC
					Comprehensive Performance Framework shall serve as the basis for academic,
					financial, and organizational accountability. Regardless of the length of a
					school's charter term, the SCSC shall review each state charter school's
					results under the SCSC Comprehensive Performance Framework every five years and
					impose meaningful consequences if the state charter school fails to
					consistently meet expectations under the SCSC Comprehensive Performance
					Framework. The SCSC may initiate termination proceedings pursuant to O.C.G.A.
					§
									20-2-2068 and  SCSC Rule  691-2-.04  if the state charter school fails to
					consistently meet expectations under the SCSC Comprehensive Performance
					Framework.
(d) The SCSC staff shall
					prepare an annual report for the SCSC chairperson that includes details
					regarding each state charter school's academic performance and operational
					compliance.

			 school may be terminated for failure to adhere to any material term of the

			 established under the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act. The SCSC, in its
			 sole discretion, may refer the matter for a hearing by the Office of State
			 Administrative Hearings.
(d) In the
			 event the SCSC determines that the charter will be terminated, the SCSC shall
			 provide a written statement detailing the reasons for termination.
