Summary of Changes
TEA Policy 3700 – 3740 has been revised to clarify procedures for a TEA recipient who alleges a long-term disability and is referred to ARS for an assessment and determination. Previously issued clarifications regarding the time limit when a referral to ARS has been made have also been incorporated in this section
The policy includes specific timeframes by which ARS is to communicate back to the DHS county office after a referral is made. Please note, however, that the specific timeframes are not effective until July 1, 2000 even though the process of communication is current procedure.
PUB-391, Arkansas Rehabilitation Services Orientation Information, has been developed to provide TEA recipients that are referred for an assessment with an explanation of the ARS referral process, provide information regarding what ARS will do upon receipt of the referral and what is expected of the client. The PUB will be issued to the Income Maintenance Forms Manual and an initial distribution will be provided to the counties.
