The Community Services Team also coordinates the delivery of eligibility services. This involves taking applications from individuals who are interested in applying for services through DDA. Eligibility determinations are made based on criteria found in the Annotated Code of Maryland (COMAR) 10.22.18. These regulations delineate the eligibility and access determination process.
