Once all information is received, an eligibility determination is made by the Admissions Coordinator using the Eligibility Handbook Protocols for Intellectual or Developmental Disability. If the applicant is deemed eligible, they are advised via phone or letter and a date to complete BASIS and outline service/provider options is established.  If the determination results in a denial, a letter is sent advising the applicant of the reason for the denial and the right to appeal the determination.
