Hey Tim

You are doing great Tim!

Paula sounds more foggy than usual. Tim was very clear and volume.

Paula, your voice sounds a bit fuzzy. I'm having a hard time hearing.

sounds muffled

Vidal with RICV -Fresno, will there be an extension of the CARES Act in the future?

Thanks Todd and Paula. Relocation of our people out of institutions should our top priority They are still dying in congregate settings.

Todd - would you be willing to share that vaccination accessibility checklist pl?

I will Maureen. I'm working with the Partnership (PIDS) to be able to customize these tools for each state/territory. toddh@cfisouth.org

YES!!!

Options RCIL in East Grand Forks MN is providing transportation costs to vaccination clinics.

Well said, Ami!

Time-Check: The timing and content has been PERFECT. Thank you all!

Great work everyone!

COVID VACCINE INFO + POST COVID VACCINE INFORMATION MUST BE AVAILABLE IN ACCESSIBLE FORMAT!! Also, it should NOT be so difficult for consumers to access wheelchair accessible vans for NEMT

I'm sorry Ruth, what is NEMT

Very much agreed! Transition services are vital right now more than ever!

as a member of a CIL, we are assisting residents every week with relocations back into community settings. It's harder than ever with COVID but it does get done

Advocate, advocate, advocate.

YES!!! Lip service for sure.

I made a mistake and can't answer Heather's question in the QA as a result, so let me answer here what kind of documentation you might have related to these expenses. First, you must document that the recipients are people with significant disabilities. This is a declaration by the individual which is documented. It does not need to be documented with a consumer signature in these time when you might be conducting intake over phone or other remote contact. Staff can ask and record their verbal response. Then you need to document their need or goal in the same way you do with other goals. They can be simple -- increase food security for example -- but there should be a goal. The other thing you document is how the expense is COVID related whether it is for your office or for the individual. I suggest this is written in the individual record when there is an individual response, and in your record of the bill when it is staff or office or community response.

You still need to follow the usual financial requirements for procurement and prior approval if the expense is great enough to hit those threshholds.

PREACH

Thanks Paula!

hi Linda, did you have an audio question?

Hi Jordy, do you have a question you'd like to ask out loud?

ILRU has those COVID-19 Resources at https://www.ilru.org/resources-covid-19

In Washington State there is a new website that is a partnership between designers from Google, Microsoft and Facebook. It is essentially a WebCrawler that collects what locations have vaccines near people. It is available by zipcode. https://www.covidwa.com/
