These rules establish a Consumer Transition Voucher (CTV) payment mechanism for Core Services Agencies (CSAs), Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Programs, and Community Based Intervention (CBI) Programs receiving consumers transitioning from the closing DC Community Service Agency (DCCSA). The CTV provides additional funding to the receiving provider to cover staffing, training, and service costs during the transition period. The voucher is available only to consumers previously enrolled in DCCSA who are transferring to a new DMH-certified provider, and does not create an entitlement or benefit.

3300.1 These rules establish the requirements, formula, and process for a Consumer Transition Voucher (“CTV”) payment to a Core Services Agency (“CSA”), Assertive Community Treatment ("ACT") Program or Community Based Intervention ("CBI") Program for each consumer transitioning from the D.C. Community Service Agency (“DCCSA”) as part of the Department of Mental Health’s plan to close the DCCSA. The CTV is available only to consumers who were enrolled in DCCSA and are now transferring from the DCCSA to a new Department of Mental Health (“DMH”) certified provider.
3300.2 The purpose of the CTV is to support transition services provided to consumers transferred from the DCCSA as part of the Department’s closure of the DCCSA. The CTV is intended to provide additional funds to the CSA, ACT Program, or CBI Program, whichever unit becomes the consumer’s new clinical home, to assist in the cost of additional staffing, training and service requirements for each new consumer during the transition period.
3300.3 The CTV program does not create any rights except the right of the consumer’s new clinical home to bill DMH for CTV payment for transition services rendered and to receive the CTV payment in accordance with the requirements set forth herein.
3300.4 Nothing in these rules shall be interpreted to mean that a CTV provided by DMH is an entitlement or benefit.
