The inventory gathers information regarding specific categories of information impacting the adequacy of supports for the customer’s individual needs as well as the caregiver’s ability to provide care. The inventory of the individual’s circumstances is completed and scored by the Brokerage providing services for annual support service funds in excess of the Basic Benefit. Long- term support needs are expected to persist the length of time the customer’s Individual Support Plan (ISP) is in effect. The care plan must be in effect a minimum of six (6) months. Description: Basic Supplement Criteria Inventory (BSCI) OAR 411-340-0020(11) defines Basic Supplement Criteria Inventory as “the written inventory of an individual’s circumstances that is completed and scored by the brokerage to determine whether the individual is eligible for a basic supplement.”</p><p>Basic supplement is “an amount of support services funds in excess of the basic benefit to which an individual may have access in order to purchase necessary supports based on demonstration of extraordinary long-term need on the Basic Supplement Criteria Inventory.” Long-term needs are expected to exist at least the duration, if not beyond, the length of time the customer’s Individual Support Plan is in effect and at a minimum of six (6) months. The Inventory asks 16 questions related to long-term health, physical management, behavior supports, caregiver circumstances and caregiver ability to provide care needed by the individual to be healthy and safe and to remain in his/her own home. A score of 60 or greater allows access to mid-level supplement funding benefit level. A score of 81 or greater allows access to the maximum allowable annual benefit level. Benefit levels are defined in the Annual Brokerage Plan Benefit Levels” document developed by Senior’s and People with Disabilities. The conditions and caregiver circumstances identified in the inventory must be identified in the individual’s person centered planning information, Goal Survey and Individual Support Plan. Evaluators are instructed to inform individuals and their families at the time of the assessment that if an individual qualifies for additional funding, those funds must be used to address the conditions and caregiver circumstances identified in the inventory to protect the health and safety of the individual. Basic Supplement funds cannot be used to supplant natural support or supports available from other sources.</p><p>Initial application: An individual or their legal representative can make a request for BSCI at any time. The request should be documented and the BSCI is to be administered within 30 calendar days of the date of the request. The inventory must be administered by the Brokerage Director or an administrative designee who has completed training through Senior’s and People with Disabilities.</p><p>DHS 0203IN (3/11) Page 4 of 14 The Brokerage will send written notice of the results of the Inventory within 45 calendar days of the request. The written notice must include an offer to discuss the findings and information on the appeal rights and process. Appeal rights and process are found in OAR 411-340-0060. Information to complete the inventory should be obtained from 1) personal observation and interview, 2) interview with a family member or other person close to the individual and 3) record review. All methods should be used whenever possible. Settings to be considered in answering inventory questions include home, community and work but only those locations where Brokerage funds are used to provide support through the plan are applicable. Behaviors or circumstances that occur only at school cannot be used to score points on the inventory. Individuals entering Support Services from Children’s Intensive In-Home Supports (CIIS) and other funded services should not experience disruption in services. These individuals will immediately be eligible for administration of the basic Supplement Criteria Inventory. Reviews and reapplication: Annual review of the BSCI is required and must include a review of circumstance and resources to confirm continued need. Verification of the annual review is documented on the signature page of the Customer Goal Survey by the Personal Agent checking the box that the customer has Supplement to Base and by signing that the circumstances and resources have been reviewed. Circumstantial changes with potential implications for the existing benefit level will be referred for a new administration of the Basic Supplemental Criteria Inventory. Individuals who do not qualify for the Supplement to base funding may make a request for re- evaluation at any time. Loss of Basic Supplement Funding: In situations where changes may potentially impact eligibility to the Basic Supplement, the BSCI should be referred immediately for re-administration. If loss of eligibility does occur, the Brokerage will provide the individual and his/her legal representative with written notification of the action to be taken and the appeal rights as stated in OAR 411-340-0060. General instructions: Scoring of all items should be based on observable situations, reported functioning levels and available data. The comment section should be used to provide clear information of how the individual does or does not meet criteria for the given question. No points should be awarded when complete criteria is not met. Behaviors should be scored only once in the most appropriate category unless otherwise specified. Example: The behavior scored on #11 (Community limiting actions) should not be the same behavior which received points on question #6 (Self-injurious or aggressive behavior) or on #12 (History of public endangerment).</p><p>DHS 0203IN (3/11) Page 5 of 14 On multiple choice questions, pick the one item that best describes the individual’s circumstances. An exception is question #6, which allows scoring on more than one option to reach the maximum score of 15 points. The inventory is part of the customer’s program record and is to be completed in ink. Comments are to be recorded in the space provided in order to document information and provide the rationale for the score given. Copies of the completed Inventory are required to be maintained in the individual’s file and sent to the office of Senior’s and People with Disabilities. Inventories may be sent electronically.</p><p>Scoring the BSCI Questions 1 – 5: Physical and health care supports 1. ADL needs 1.a.
