Who assigns a person to be the CCS for the participant?

The assignment of a person as the Community Coordination Services (CCS) for a participant is done by the CCS Provider. This is because the CCS Provider is responsible for selecting and designating CCS professionals who will work directly with the participant. The role of the CCS is crucial in ensuring that the participant receives the appropriate support and services tailored to their needs.

While the participant may have input or preferences regarding who they would like to work with, the official assignment of the CCS is ultimately the responsibility of the CCS Provider. This ensures that all necessary qualifications and standards are met, providing a level of professionalism and oversight. The other entities involved, such as the Coordinator of Community Services and the Financial Management and Counseling Services Provider, play different roles in the overall support system and do not have directly assigned authority in this specific task.
