Public Administrator/Guardian/Conservator (PAGC) Cases

In the following situations, the PAGC may request a Director's Exception. This is initiated by completing the “General Assistance Director's Exception Request”(GA 5). The GA 5 will be completed by the PAGC’s office and submitted to the GA SSPM.

If a conserved applicant/recipient is in a nursing home and has been denied Medi-Cal (usually due to trust property), a Director's Exception may be requested to pay the nursing home the current monthly LTC Medi-Cal rate. The PAGC must reimburse the total amount paid when the trust property becomes available.
In emergency situations, a Director's Exception may be requested for conserved applicants who have been approved SSI but have not yet received their check. In these situations, the PAGC must repay the GA upon receipt of the initial SSI check.
