If the client’s responses to the screening
tool questions indicate the existence of a possible ADA-covered disability,
the client does not express an inability to work that would warrant an MEU
referral, the client does not want an FSC referral, the kind of accommodation
needed is evident and easily provided, and the client agrees that the
accommodation is appropriate, the county will: Bulletin

Provide the
accommodation. ·
Send the
client an accommodation notice. ·
Refer the
client to a work activity contractor if he or she is not already in an
activity. Document the following in the case record: ·
Kind of
ADA-covered disability. ·

accommodation notice sent. If the client’s responses to the screening tool questions indicate the
existence of a possible ADA-covered disability, ask the client if he/she
would like a referral to Family Services Counseling. (Refer to the Family
Services Counseling Chapter for information regarding these
procedures.) If the client’s responses to the screening tool indicate a physical or
mental limitation or difficulty that prevents them from participating in a
work or training activity and the client states he/she is unable to work,
complete a medical social narrative and refer to the MEU. The client will be exempt from a work
activity until the MEU decision is complete. If the client states there is a family member living in the home that
needs care, complete a Physician’s Statement of Critical Need in the Home
along with the medical/mental packet, and refer to the MEU for a
decision. The client will be exempt
from a work activity until the MEU decision is complete. Bulletin
14, FA-08-10 If the client’s responses to the screening tool questions indicate the
existence of a possible disability, and the kind of accommodation needed is
not evident or easily provided at the county office level, the county will
attach the screening tool to an email with “ADA Accommodation Consultation
Request” in the subject line, and send it to the State Office Accommodations
Specialist for consultation. Bulletin 9, FA-09-08 In the event that the client declines to be screened for disabilities,
the case record should be thoroughly documented regarding the client’s
refusal. This refusal will not affect
eligibility, but an accommodation cannot be provided unless a secondary
screening has been completed. |
