19 Tex. Admin. Code § 23.97 - Applicant Ranking Priorities
(a) Each fiscal
year an application deadline will be posted on the program web page.
(b) If there are not sufficient funds to
offer loan repayment assistance for all eligible providers, applications shall
be prioritized as follows:
(1) Applications
from eligible providers from practice specialties described in §
23.96(a)(3)(A) -
(G) of this subchapter (relating to Applicant
Eligibility), ranked by the following criteria:
(A) renewal applications;
(B) applications from providers who sign SLRP
contracts;
(C) applications from
providers whose employers are located in an MPHSA, prioritizing higher MHPSA
scores. If a provider works for an agency located in an MHPSA that has
satellite clinics and the provider works in more than one of the clinics, the
highest MHPSA score where the provider works shall apply. If a provider travels
to make home visits, the provider's agency base location and its MHPSA score
shall apply. If a provider works for different employers in multiple MHPSAs
having different degrees of shortage, the location having the highest MHPSA
score shall apply;
(D) applications
from providers in state hospitals;
(E) applications from providers whose
employers are located in counties with a population of less than 50,000
persons. In the case of providers serving at multiple sites, at least 75
percent of their work hours are spent serving in counties with a population of
less than 50,000 persons; and
(F)
applications received on the earliest dates; and
(2) Applications from eligible providers from
the practice specialty described in §
23.96(a)(3)(H)
of this subchapter, ranked by the following criteria:
(A) renewal applications; and
(B) applications received on the earliest
dates.
(c) If
state funds are not sufficient to allow for maximum loan repayment assistance
amounts stated in §
23.100 of this subchapter
(relating to Amount of Repayment Assistance) for all eligible applicants
described by subparagraph (b)(1)(A) of this section, the Coordinating Board
shall adjust in an equitable manner the state-funded distribution amounts for a
fiscal year, in accordance with Texas Education Code, §
