For each active service case, when service is provided
directly, purchased, or by a combination of methods, a department social worker
shall:
(1) Determine
eligibility.
(2) Ensure that there
is a department case plan for each individual or family based on assessment of
strengths and needs. Furnish appropriate sections of the initial plan and of
all updated department case plans to the provider agency when services are
purchased for an individual. When individual case management services are being
provided under 441-Chapter 24 for persons with an intellectual disability, a
developmental disability, or chronic mental illness, the individual case
management services provider shall distribute the case plans.
(3) Refer the client to other workers or
agencies through proper channels, and coordinate all workers involved in the
case.
When individual case management services are being provided
under 441-Chapter 24 for persons with an intellectual disability, a
developmental disability, or chronic mental illness, the individual case
management services provider shall be responsible for making referrals and
coordinating workers as specified in the individual program
plan.
(4) Enter information
to the service reporting system.
(5) Monitor the case to ensure that
eligibility continues, services are received, plans are adjusted as needed,
services reporting system reporting is correct, and the case is canceled when
appropriate, according to these rules.
(6) Ensure that services are unavailable
elsewhere without cost to the client.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section
234.6.
