Purpose

Form 3629 is completed for applicants/individuals being assessed for Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS)/Community First Choice (CFC) services. The form is used as an instrument for collecting and documenting essential information about individuals in the CLASS program.

Form 3629:

  • is developed through a person-centered planning process;
  • occurs with the support of  a group of people chosen by the individual (and the legally authorized representative (LAR) on the individual's behalf); and
  • accommodates the individual's style of interaction, communication and preferences regarding time and setting.

Form 3629 is used to:

  • identify the individual's strengths, preferences, support needs and desired outcomes;
  • identify what is important to the individual;
  • document the individual's preferences for when to receive CLASS/CFC services; and
  • identify any special needs, requests or considerations staff should know when supporting this individual.

Procedure

When to Prepare

Form 3629 is completed by the CLASS case manager in its entirety when an individual is applying for CLASS/CFC services and at least annually for individuals receiving CLASS/CFC services. The form is also updated whenever the individual's needs have substantially changed.

If an individual or LAR does not know the information requested or refuses to answer, document that in the space provided.

Form Retention

The case management agency (CMA) must keep the original copy of the form in the individual's case record and provide a copy to the direct services agency.

The CMA must keep this form according to record retention requirements documented in the CLASS Provider Manual.
