Program Summary:

Join us for an informative program that explores the intricacies of determining eligibility for indigent status, a decision typically made at the local government level. We will explore indigency requirements across various municipalities and identify common norms for eligibility.

Learn about the necessary forms and processes to receive reimbursement for indigent services and the "Do's and Don'ts" of providing these services. We'll also review indigent burial and cremation procedures in larger Ohio municipalities and discuss alternative funding sources, including social services, non-profits, and the Veterans Administration.

Enhance your understanding of local regulations and ensure you provide essential services effectively.
