Payment for services begins with the date the department receives the completed application if the provider is licensed or registered or is in the process of being licensed or registered. The department shall discontinue payments if the provider does not obtain the required license or registration within sixty days.

A relative provider has ten days to complete, sign, and return the home health and safety checklist, child care services authorization form required in subdivision 67:47:01:13(6), immunization verification form, and Internal Revenue Service W-9 form required in § 67:47:01:13. Payment for services to a relative provider begins the date the department receives these forms correctly completed. The home health and safety checklist must also contain the applicant's signature. The signatures of the provider and the applicant on the home health and safety checklist are acknowledgements that the provider has fulfilled the requirements of the health and safety checklist. The completed forms must be postmarked within ten days from the date the department mailed the forms to the provider.

An in-home or informal provider shall comply with the requirements of § 67:47:01:13.01. Payment for services to an in-home or informal provider begins the date the department receives the completed intent to provide services form, results of the state criminal background check, and verified completion of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and orientation training.

If an in-home or informal provider is ineligible to receive payment due to the results of the state criminal background check, the department must provide notice that the provider is ineligible and provide guidance regarding the appeal process.
