Current through May 31, 2024
(a) Except as
				  provided in (g) of this section, the department will reimburse an adoptive
				  parent or guardian of a hard-to-place child with special needs for a
				  nonrecurring expense associated with obtaining a decree of adoption or a
				  guardianship order if the expense is not incurred in violation of state or
				  federal law and has not otherwise been reimbursed. The department will
				  reimburse under this section only if an adoption or guardianship is final and
				  the adoptive parent or guardian provides the department with a copy of the
				  adoption decree or guardianship order. If the adoptive parent or guardian
				  designates a third party to receive reimbursement under this subsection in
				  accordance with (d)(3) of this section, the department will reimburse that
				  third party instead of the adoptive parent or guardian. Only one third party
				  may be designated for purposes of this section.
(b) Except as provided in (g) of this
				  section, if a sibling is also a hard-to-place child with special needs and is
				  adopted or is placed with the guardian, either separately or at the same time,
				  the department will treat each child as an individual, with separate
				  reimbursement for nonrecurring expenses up to the maximum amount allowable for
				  each child.
(c) Except as provided
				  in (g) of this section, the department will not pay more than a total of $2,000
				  in reimbursement under this section for each hard-to-place child with special
				  needs. The department will not base reimbursement on the adoptive parent's or
				  guardian's income or other resources. The department will pay reimbursement
				  regardless of whether the child is
(1)
				  eligible for adoption or guardianship assistance or a subsidy under
				  7 AAC 53.222,
				  7 AAC 53.223,
				  7 AAC 53.225,

				  parent or guardian requests a change in the subsidy amount before or after the
				  adoption or guardianship is final, the department will negotiate the amount
				  with the adoptive parent or guardian.
(b) Any adjustment in the monthly payment
				  under (a) of this section must be based upon documented changes in the child's
				  needs, or changes in the circumstances of the adoptive or guardianship family,
				  and will be made only with the adoptive parent's or guardian's
				  concurrence.
(c) A change in the
				  maximum allowable subsidy payment due to an increase in foster care rates is
				  not automatic, but will be based on changes in the child's special needs or a
				  change in the circumstances of the adoptive or guardianship family.
(d) The department may change a subsidy
				  payment to reflect a decrease in foster care rates without the adoptive
				  parent's or guardian's concurrence. The department will notify the adoptive
				  parent or guardian in writing of a change in a subsidy payment that results
				  from a decrease in foster care rates. The department will consider an
				  adjustment to that change if requested by the adoptive parent or guardian. In
				  the notice to the adoptive parent or guardian, the department will state that
				  the change will take effect 30 days after the notice is received by the
				  adoptive parent or guardian unless the adoptive parent or guardian requests a
				  review under
				  7 AAC 54.500
				  or an evidentiary hearing under
				  7 AAC 54.510.

(b) If the child is eligible to receive
				  Medicaid benefits, payment for the medical, dental, diagnostic, and therapeutic
				  care of a child placed in an out-of-home care setting by the department will be
				  made through the Medicaid program. The proof of Medicaid eligibility must be

				  not eligible under the Medicaid program and who has no other resources, such as
				  a military health benefit, the Alaska Native Health Service, or the child's
				  parents, to meet these needs. The department will not cover medical costs
				  higher than the established Medicaid rates. The department, in consultation
				  with the Department of Health, will use the Medicaid criteria and rates to
				  determine whether it will cover the requested medical services. The medical
				  provider may bill the department directly for these services. Prior
				  authorization from the Department of Health under 7 AAC 105 - 7 AAC 160 is
				  required.
(d) An out-of-home care
				  provider is expected to obtain routine medical and dental care for a child in

				  105 - 7 AAC 160 and the Department of Health has provided prior authorization
				  consistent with the child's placement plan.
(e) For emergency medical and dental
				  treatment, the out-of-home care provider may seek treatment immediately without
				  prior authorization, but must notify the Department of Family and Community
				  Services and the Department of Health.

Current through May 31, 2024
(a) By
				  submitting a proposal for a residential child care facility grant, a proponent
				  agrees to all requirements of 7 AAC 50.001 - 7 AAC 50.114,
				  7 AAC 53.901 -
				  7 AAC 53.999, and 7 AAC 78, and makes an offer to
				  provide services that is irrevocable until 26 days after the date specified in
				  the request for proposals as the date that the department would award grants.
				  However, at any time before the department approves a grant proposal, a
				  proponent may amend a grant proposal if the department, in its discretion,
				  finds that the proponent made an inadvertent error in preparation of the grant
				  proposal.
(b) A grantee may not
				  terminate the grant before the end of a grant year except as specifically
				  stated in 7 AAC 53.921(e).
(c) If a grantee breaches a condition of the
				  grant, the department will, in its discretion, terminate the grant under
				  7 AAC 78.290, or seek any contract or grant remedy that
				  is available at law or in equity, including injunctive relief and
				  damages.
(d) A grantee shall accept
				  appropriate state placements of children in its facility or facilities. If a
				  grantee refuses to accept appropriate placements, the department will, in its
				  discretion, reduce, suspend, or terminate a grant. If a grantee refuses to
				  accept appropriate placements, and as a result fails to maintain an 80 percent
				  occupancy rate, for any quarter, in beds for which the department has granted
				  money, then the department will unilaterally reduce the total amount of the
				  grant to the amount necessary to reimburse the grantee at the same rate per bed
				  as the original grant for a number of beds for which the facility has accepted
				  appropriate placements from the state at an 80 percent occupancy rate for the
				  quarter. If the department elects to reduce a grant, and the grantee disputes
				  the department's contention that placements were appropriate, the commissioner
				  will appoint a placement committee of at least three persons to determine
				  whether placements were appropriate before reducing the grant.

				  For the purposes of this section, "the grantee's equity in an asset" means the
				  amount by which the basis of an asset, plus the basis of any capitalized
				  improvements to the asset less accumulated depreciation of the asset and
