(2) Reemployment[These] services may include job search workshops, job placement services, counseling, testing, and assessment. [ (2) In order to avoid disqualification for failure to participate in reemployment services, the claimant must show good cause for nonparticipation.

(i) [When]If a claimant refuses [any ]suitable work, even for a valid reason, the claimant is considered unavailable[.

R414-510. Intermediate Care Facility for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities Transition Program and Education B. Statutory provisions that authorize or require this rule and an explanation of those particular statutory provisions: Section 26B-1-213 Section 26B-1-213 authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services (department) to adopt rules as necessary to carry out the provisions of Title 26B, Utah Health and Human Services Code, including Medicaid program implementation. Section 26B-3-108 Section 26B-3-108 requires the department to implement the Medicaid program through administrative rules. Section 26B-6-402 Section 26B-6-402 sets forth provisions that promote independence, productivity, and integration in community life to serve people with disabilities.
C. A summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of this rule from interested
persons supporting or opposing this rule: The department received written comments since the last five-year review that expressed concern that adjustments to the 365- day length-of-stay requirement represent a meaningful shift from the original intent of the policy. The commenter expressed that providers for individuals with intellectual disabilities have operated under the understanding that a 365-day placement allows time to stabilize individuals and recover the significant costs associated with admission and care. According to the commenter, expanding the definition to include time spent in other settings such as hospitals, other nursing facilities, or group homes begins to erode that framework. This could place providers in a difficult position. Additionally, the commenter explained that many step in to support individuals during complex or transitional periods in good faith and counting that time toward the 365-day requirement may result in providers not having sufficient time to offset the costs of care. Over time, the commenter believed this could create hesitation to accept or retain individuals with higher needs, which may limit access across the system. The commenter further stated that the exception outlined in Subsection R414-510-3(2)(b) appears broad and may create challenges in consistent application. The commenter encouraged additional clarity or guardrails to ensure the 365-day requirement continues to serve the intended purpose of promoting stability and thoughtful transitions. Similarly, the commenter felt the language in Subsection R414-510-3(2)(g)(ii) referencing a "special bond or relationship" would benefit from further definition. As written, the commenter said, this phrase leaves room for subjective interpretation, which could lead to inconsistencies in how this rule is applied. Finally, the commenter expressed concern that Subsection R414-510-3(2)(g)(iii) would not maintain a level playing field among providers and encouraged careful consideration to ensure that policy decisions do not unintentionally favor one provider type over another, particularly when each provider is working to meet the needs of this population. D. A reasoned justification for continuation of this rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to this rule, if any: This rule is necessary because it implements the Intermediate Care Facility for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF) voluntary transition program, which allows an individual to transition from a privately-owned ICF to the Community Transitions Waiver. Without this rule, state oversight of this transition program would decrease and leave vulnerable populations at risk. In response to the commenter, the department believes the 365-day length-of-stay provision should remain to include time spent in other settings, such as hospitals, other nursing facilities, or group homes. Since the inception of the program, the intent has been to assist individuals currently residing in ICFs to learn about their options, including the ability to remain in and continue receiving ICF services. For individuals selecting home and community-based services (HCBS), the department determined it would institute a yearlong waiting period with the intention to keep that requirement in place and accommodate breaks in stay within different types of settings, including HCBS programs. UTAH STATE BULLETIN, October 01, 2026, Vol. 2026, No. 19 293 FIVE-YEAR NOTICES OF REVIEWAND STATEMENTS OF CONTINUATION The commenter denoted an additional apprehension about multiple exceptions to the 365-day timeframe. Current exceptions are seldom granted, and any new exceptions are similarly expected to be quite uncommon. The language was selected in such a way as to contemplate specific types of scenarios yet broad enough to allow the consideration of a variety of circumstances within each scenario. It is also important to note that in each case, apart from the closure of an ICF, exceptions require the submission of a written request including the rationale for the request and anticipated risk if the individual remains in the ICF. Moreover, the approval of such a written request must be made in concurrent agreement with the Division of Integrated Healthcare and the Division of Services for People with Disabilities. Within the span of a settlement agreement with the Disability Law Center, the department believes it has been judicious in making decisions about exceptions to the 365-day requirement with a limited number of approvals. Therefore, this rule should be continued. When the department received requests that did not fit within the intended scope of this rule, the department denied those requests. 4.

Statutory provisions that authorize or require this rule and an explanation of those particular statutory provisions: Subsection 53C-2-201 The statute states the agency shall develop rules in detail of planning necessary for each category of activity on Trust Lands. Rule R850-140 allows the agency authorization of the planning development property on Trust Lands and how those transactions are implemented. Subsection 53C-4-101(1) Subsection 53C-4-101(3) authorizes the director to establish criteria by rule for the sale, exchange, lease, or other disposition or conveyance of trust lands. UTAH STATE BULLETIN, October 01, 2026, Vol. 2026, No. 19 295 FIVE-YEAR NOTICES OF REVIEWAND STATEMENTS OF CONTINUATION This rule allows the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) to designate certain trust lands for development activities and establish guidelines that will facilitate development to generate optimum revenue for the Trust. Subsection 53C-4-103 The statute states the agency shall make rules to ensure that the value of the real property is congruent with the proposed price and other terms of purchase, sale, or exchange if the agency buys, sells, or exchanges the trust lands. This rule defines the specifics of selling the development property as a real estate transaction.
C. A summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of this rule from interested

A reasoned justification for continuation of this rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to this rule, if any: This rule allows SITLA to designate lands that have development potential to generate optimum revenue for the Trust as development properties. Development transactions are very complex and the guidelines provided in this rule allow the agency to proceed in a more traditional, business-like approach rather than a governmental-like approach. Because real estate transactions are time sensitive, SITLA needs to be able to take advantage of opportunities as they arise and respond accordingly. Therefore, this rule should be continued. 4.
