These include both coping abilities and coping efficacy, as well as accessto the normal peer and developmental activities that other children enjoy (Pedro-Carroll, 2005). Cop-ing abilities include, but are not limited to, the ability to differentiate one’s own feelings from some-one else’s, appropriately express independent needs and feelings, regulate emotions, managedistress, recognize danger, know the difference between anxiety or discomfort and danger, ask forhelp, and form healthy relationships with others

investigation and litigationmay precede any meaningful attempt at intervention, based on the questionable belief that all elements of causality (or blame)must be established before any effective treatment can occur.

Treatment Necessary health care services must be made available for treatment of all physical and mental illnesses or conditions discovered by any screening and diagnostic procedures.
-
Diagnostic Services When a screening examination indicates the need for further evaluation of an individual's health, diagnostic services must be provided. Necessary referrals should be made without delay and there should be follow-up to ensure the enrollee receives a complete diagnostic evaluation. States should develop quality assurance procedures to assure that comprehensive care is provided.
-
Other Necessary Health Care Services States are required to provide any additional health care services that are coverable under the Federal Medicaid program and found to be medically necessary to treat, correct or reduce illnesses and conditions discovered regardless of whether the service is covered in a state's Medicaid plan. It is the responsibility of states to determine medical necessity on a case-by-case basis.

SNAP: 10 CCR 2506, Volume 1 at §§ 4.000.1, 4.304.B.1, 4.304.B.3, 4.304.1.A,4.504.6.D.4,4.504.6.D.5, 4.504.6.D.11, 4.604.B, 4.604.G.1, 4.606.B.1.b, 4.606.B.2.b
These are the sum of the laws, the specific clauses, the county references claiming provides the legal justification for our reduction in benefits and my daughter to no longer be counted as eligible. They are all in CCR "Rule Vol. 4". I comment here on each one as well as declaring the applicable clauses in Rule Vol. 4 which were not considered, specifically relevant, and mandated to be applied.
The County's list fails to reference the following: 4.206 CATEGORIES OF ELIGIBILITY, A, C.1.a. 1) & 2) https://hyp.is/XoKIEsJLEe2cl-8Ogls3gw/www.sos.state.co.us/CCR/GenerateRulePdf.do?ruleVersionId=10492&fileName=10%20CCR%202506-1
4.505.4 Verification of Household Composition, A. "household's statement regarding food purchasing and preparation shall generally be accepted because of the difficulty of verifying such arrangements" https://hyp.is/oFev8MJMEe2rvnuw-5D9ZQ/www.sos.state.co.us/CCR/GenerateRulePdf.do?ruleVersionId=10492&fileName=10%20CCR%202506-1
Regarding each CCR that was referenced by the County: 4.000.1 - is only a list of program definitions that are not in dispute 4.304.B.1&2 - these clauses are not in dispute as this only lists additional people who should be counted "in household" beyond the usual nuclear household (i.e. children and their legal permanent caretakers [parents]) 4.304.1.A - not applicable to this case as my daughter is not for this moment in question living and in the physical possession of "natural parent, adoptive parent, or stepparent," 4.504.6.D.4, 5, & 6; 4.604.B - not in dispute, I'm not disputing the County's data sources used for verification 4.604.G.1, 4.606.B.1.b, 4.606.B.2.b - these clauses just direct what to do IF there is a change in household composition. I'm not disputing what should be done "IF". What I'm disputing is that a change in Household Composition did/has not occurred (per laws: CRS 26.2.706(1)(A5)(II); CCR 2503-6.E.1-4, F, & G.1

The Department has reviewed the decrease in SNAP benefits and has determined that it is valid based on your daughter being removed from the home and younot providing meals for her
This is the county's singular argument, and provided 93 pages of evidence to illustrate the facts of our life situation, namely that my daughter is in "temporary custody" by DHS and not currently in my physical custody. However, my case and argument has nothing to do with arguing those facts. I generally concede those facts as true and don't dispute them. What I dispute is that those facts, per the eligibility rules of the benefit programs, do not disqualify us from the programs, and further, specifically provide language that speaks to our life situation to make sure it is clear we are to be declared eligible and my daughter is not to be disqualified on the basis of "not living in home and not in the dependent care of her Head of Household [me]"

4.203.1 Designating a Head of HouseholdA. The local office shall allow a household to select an adult parent of children (of any age) living inthe household, or an adult who has parental control over children (under 18 years of age) living inthe household,
I am the obvious "Head of Household" between my daughter and myself as she is my biological daughter, under 18, whom I am the sole caretaker, and whom my parental rights have not been terminated. And, the open DHS child welfare case is still pre-adjudication, meaning DHS has not proven grounds for their claimed allegations they used to defend taking temporary custody, and which I strongly contest and know are not founded. Point being I have never stopped for one day, up through current day, taking daily responsibility for and being the ultimate manager of my daughter's care for all needs, that DHS's involvement was not at my doing or consent, and DHS should and I expect DHS to remove themselves immediately from infringing any further in our family.
-
4.505.4 Verification of Household CompositionA. If questionable, the local office shall verify any factors affecting the composition of a household.The household's statement regarding food purchasing and preparation shall generally beaccepted because of the difficulty of verifying such arrangements.
This declares guidance to the county to generally accept a families declaration of the household composition (i.e. should generally accept my claim that my daughter is qualified 'living in home' without excessive scrutiny and as long as I can provide a reasonable basis and evidence for it) due to the often very complex nature of living circumstances.

2) A household in which at least one (1) member receives services from theFamily Preservation Program.
Additionally, our family qualifies under this qualifier as well. We do receive service from the Family Preservation Program (enacted in 2018 out of the U.S. Family First Prevention Services Act, which includes services all families with children who have been or are at risk of being placed out-of-home). My daughter is in fact residing in a QRTP facility (Chase House) awaiting the mandated Independent Assessment to determine medical and related needs, both being specific fundamental creations of the FFPSA.
-
1) Households in which all members receive, or are authorized to receive,SSI, Colorado Works (CW),
This rule declares that our eligibility for SNAP, and therefore determination of whether my daughter is qualified as "living in home", is met based on the fact that we qualify for the TANF (Colorado Works) Program. Said another way, if my daughter is qualified as "living in home" by TANF rules (CCR 9 2503-6, C.R.S. 26-2-706); which is the only section in the CCRs & CRSs where "living in home" is defined in Colorado Law), she qualifies as eligible for SNAP.
