Process Steps:

   Only funding programs associated with the eligibility program category selected to determine the child’s eligibility are displayed in the New Funding Program dropdown menu. Override security access is required to select a funding program that is not associated with the eligibility program category selected to determine the child’s eligibility. The VaCMS pays for the services received with the funding program selected. The following table displays the Authorization Funding Programs associated with each Eligibility Program Category.

   If a child is authorized for the Fee-Based funding program and there is insufficient funding, the VaCMS displays a message to remind the worker to update the child’s authorization status to waiting list.
