Instructions: A Title XIX Certified Facility is a facility that the Department of Public Health has certified as meeting specifications required by Title XIX of the Social Security Act. This commonly means a nursing home in which children are receiving intermediate or skilled nursing care. This type of facility can also include DHS facilities. In the case of a DHS facility, the child must be in a ward or bed that has been designated as Title XIX certified, which means the child is receiving intermediate or skilled nursing care even though the entire facility is not devoted to that type of care.
If the amount accumulates to more than $50 in a child's account at the facility, any excess funds will be deposited in an interest bearing account for the child's use. If a child in a Title XIX certified facility needs clothing, it shall be handled on an as needed basis. Follow instructions contained in the section on Replacement Clothing.
