(1) Interested Long-Term Care Facilities must submit a prior authorization request for a grant on a form mandated by the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS).

(2) The Department will reimburse facilities only when a prior authorization request was approved, in writing, by the Department.

(3) The Department will consider each prior authorization request in the order of submission. A facility may submit only one request in each phase, as these phases are described in OAR 411-062-0050. Each prior authorization request may include more than one project.

(4) The Department will consider prior authorization requests for any project initiated on or after July 1, 2021. Initiated means any substantive planning or initiation activities to start a project.

(5) A prior authorization request must include information on how the project will mitigate the spread of viruses, avoid emergency evacuations, improve overall emergency preparedness, or increase resident's health, safety, or ability to communicate during a public health emergency. The prior authorization request must demonstrate an unmet need that will be met through the project.

(6) In accordance with the appropriation authorized by the Oregon legislature, the Department will cease prior authorization of all projects, regardless of phase, once $30 million in prior authorizations have been approved by the Department.
