LIABILITY FOR EXPENSES OF SERVICES (§ 37.2-511)

The income and estate of an individual receiving services shall be liable for
the expenses of services under the jurisdiction or supervision of any community
services board that are utilized by the individual. Any person responsible for
holding, managing, or controlling the income and estate of the individual shall
apply the income and estate toward the expenses of the services utilized by the
individual.
		Any person responsible for the support of an individual receiving services
pursuant to § 20-61 or a common law duty to support shall be liable for the
expenses of services under the jurisdiction or supervision of any community
services board that are utilized by the individual, unless the individual,
regardless of age, qualifies for and is receiving aid under a federal or state
program of assistance to the blind or disabled. Any such person shall no longer
be financially liable, however, when a cumulative total of 1,826 days of (i)
care and treatment or training for the individual in a state facility, (ii)
utilization by the individual of services under the jurisdiction or supervision
of any community services board, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) has
passed and payment for or a written agreement to pay the charges for 1,826 days
of care and services has been made. Not less than three hours of service per day
shall be required to include one day in the cumulative total of 1,826 days of
utilization of services under the jurisdiction or supervision of any community
services board. In order to claim this exemption, the person legally liable for
the individual shall produce evidence sufficient to prove eligibility for it.
