What is the difference between CCSP and SOURCE Program?
What is the difference between CCSP and SOURCE Programs?
Both program give clients the same service-Care in a Personal Care Home and the services of a Registered Nurse who coordinates their care.
The Main difference is that only clients receiving SSI are eligible for the SOURCE Program.
Clients receiving SSI or regular Social Security may be referred to either CCSP or SOURCE BUT SOURCE does not have a waiting list so most clients with SSI will automatically be referred to SOURCE program.
Medical Eligibility is the same for both programs. Both Programs require that a client meet Intermediate Nursing Home Level of Care.
Majority of Clients on CCSP only collect regular Social Security and have only Medicare benefits. When these clients are placed on the CCSP Program they are then given Georgia Mediciad Benefits as well. That means that in order for a client to be eligible for CCSP they must also meet financial requirements of Georgia Medicaid.
