Community Based Residential Services Private Pay Application for Admission Financial Ability to Pay Health and Human Services Director Fred Johnson provided some background information regarding the need for and a sample of a financial assets application. A financial application will need to be filled out to determine the length of time the applicant has resources to pay for services if admitted to the Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF), as it is currently not eligible for home and community based waiver funding. It is in the applicants best interest to know this up front as discharging them for inability to pay would be very disruptive.
