Additionally, agencies must allocate budgets and track expenditures for case related expenses including placements, services and items. Multiple funding sources, including monies available at the national level, are tapped to offset costs. Oftentimes benefit and entitlement programs are established to confirm circumstances which will allow the use of funds at various jurisdictional levels. Automated eligibility determinations review client circumstances to verify that an individual or a family is qualified or entitled to receive program benefits used to assign such funding codes to placement, services, or item expenditures. This topic is addressed further in the Eligibility section.
