CLARIFYING INFORMATION

 

  1. Clients participating in ADATSA residential treatment do not receive any cash benefits. The funding to provide personal incidentals for the clients in ADATSA residential treatment is incorporated into the payments made to the residential provider. The residential provider furnishes the personal hygiene needs of the clients while in treatment.

  2. The amount of living allowance received by ADATSA Program clients participating in ADATSA outpatient treatment is determined at the discretion of the protective payee. They do not receive an entitlement of the payment standard identified in WAC. The payment standard is the maximum they may receive for one month. Funding for living allowances is allocated to the Counties or tribes, who administer the ADATSA outpatient program. Each County or tribal program has individual discretion on the distribution of these dollars.
