N.M. Admin. Code § 8.371.7.16 - ACTIVITY 2: CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED
A. For the individual moving to the community
the social worker shall, after identification of the probable area of
relocation, provide the individual and mail to the parent/guardian a listing of
eligible case management agencies that serve the individual's probable area of
relocation. The Jackson transition representative (JTR) shall
also provide the individual and the parent/guardian with the information
necessary for them to make an informed selection. The parent/ guardian, in
consultation with the individual, shall, within 21 days of the date the list
was mailed, select a case management agency.
B. The social worker shall confirm, in
writing, the selection of the agency with the individual, the agency, the
parent/guardian and the case management unit of the community programs bureau
of the DDD. The social worker shall identify the date by which a case manager
must be assigned. The agency shall assign a case manager by the date contained
in the written confirmation, which shall be no later than 90 days prior to the
initial TIDT meeting described in Activity 11. The assigned case manager must
be located in or close to the probable area of relocation but in no instance
more than 150 miles from the probable area of relocation.
C. This activity is to be accomplished
concurrently with Activity 7, selection of community service provider(s),
whenever possible.
D. If, within 85
days of the established initial TIDT meeting described in Activity 11, the
parent/ guardian has not consulted with the individual and selected a case
management agency, the authority shall consult with the individual and make the
selection.
