(2) HAS A SEVERE CHRONIC OR PERMANENT PHYSICAL DISABILITY
THAT PRECLUDES OR SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRS THE INDIVIDUAL'S INDEPENDENT
PERFORMANCE OF ESSENTIAL ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING, SELF-CARE, OR
MOBILITY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 41, § 18-601(f).
In the introductory language of this subsection, the former reference to an
eligible "disabled" individual is deleted for brevity and consistency with
current terminology.
(E) FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
"FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE" MEANS A PAYMENT THE DEPARTMENT MAKES TO AN
ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL FOR ATTENDANT CARE SERVICES.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 41, § 18-601(g).
The former phrase "to aid in securing" is deleted for brevity and
consistency with § 7-402(a)(2) of this subtitle.

"PROGRAM" MEANS THE ATTENDANT CARE PROGRAM.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 41, § 18-601(h).

REVISOR'S NOTE TO SECTION:
Former Art. 41, § 18-601(b), which defined "Director" to mean the Director
of the Attendant Care Program, is deleted as unnecessary because the
term is only used once in § 7-403 of this subtitle.
