12VAC5-191-50: Availability of funds; no entitlement

Receipt of federal funds and subsequent administration of the State Plan for the Children with Special Health Care Needs are contingent upon annual federal review, approval, and compliance with other applicable federal law and regulations as outlined in USC §§ 701-710, Subchapter V, Chapter 7, Title 42 and CFR, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Chapter I, Title 42, and Subtitle A, Title 45.

Expenditures shall be limited to available funding. These regulations do not create any legally enforceable right or entitlement to payment for medical services on the part of any person or any right or entitlement to participation.

For those program services and assistance requiring financial eligibility, the funds shall be committed on behalf of the eligible client based on the date that the programs, within the CSHCN Program, receive the original signed financial eligibility application.
