## Text

(a) Purpose. This section establishes the requirements
 for participant assessment services, a service provided under the
 Older Americans Act and funded, in whole or in part, by DADS.
(b) Provision of services.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection,
 a AAA must enter into a vendor agreement for the provision of participant
 assessment services.

 assessment services.

 only those activities that directly relate to the initial assessment
 of an individual seeking a service funded under the Older Americans
 Act and reassessment of a program participant. Such activities may
 include travel to and from the home of the individual seeking services
 or program participant for the purpose of conducting an assessment
 or reassessment.
(d) Assessment and reassessment. A AAA must conduct
 or ensure that a service provider conducts:
(1) a multidimensional assessment of an individual
 seeking services funded under the Older Americans Act to determine
 the type of service an individual needs; and
(2) a reassessment of a program participant to determine
 the effectiveness of the services provided and whether there is a
 need for services to continue.
(e) Authorization. Before a vendor conducts an assessment
 or reassessment as described in subsection (d) of this section, a
 AAA must ensure that the vendor obtains prior written authorization
 from the AAA.
