Changes to “Confirm IDT” Function on the PCSP Form for Non-Bexar County LA Users
Non-Bexar County Local Authority (LA) users will be required to confirm only one section (field A3400A or field A3500A) of the Local Authority Confirmation section on the PCSP form. Once the Non-Bexar County LA user clicks one of the checkboxes for field A3400A or field A3500A, the selected field section becomes enabled and required. The other field remains enabled and optional (it will become required if user clicks the checkbox). Non-Bexar County LA users can enter information into both fields, but the form will not be rejected if only one field is complete
Habilitation Coordinator
A new value “9. LIDDA – Habilitation Coordinator” has been added to field A2500A. Participant Type in the Participant Information section of the PCSP form.
In some cases, the attendance type in field A2500B. Attendance Type will only enable option “1. Yes – Attended in person” if “9. LIDDA – Habilitation Coordinator” was selected in field A2500A. If the Habilitation Coordinator attended via phone, select a different option in field A2500 and select “2. Habilitation Coordinator” in field A2500C. Title.

- If field A2400 displays “2. MI only”, then only MI specialized services are enabled and required (Sections A3100 and A3110)
- If field A2400 displays “3. IDD and MI”, then all specialized services are enabled and required (Sections A2800, A2900, A3000, A3100, and A3110)
