Policy manual

DHS updated CFSS Manual – CFSS service delivery plan development and approval process with instructions to temporarily authorize services for a person already receiving CFSS services at the time of their reassessment to avoid a gap in services.

Forms and documents

DHS updated CFSS Program Information and Signature Sheet, DHS-6893G (PDF) to align with MnCHOICES support planning requirements.

DHS posted Temporary CFSS Individual Service Delivery Plan Approval, DHS-6893L (PDF), a new form lead agencies must use to temporarily authorize previously approved services for a person already receiving CFSS services at the time of their reassessment to avoid a gap in services.
