441—92.14 (249A,249J) Discontinuance of the program. IowaCare is operated statewide and is funded on a fiscal-year basis (from July through June). When funds are expected to be expended before the end of the fiscal year, enrollment of new members into the program will be discontinued or limited to a reduced scope of services until funding is received for the next fiscal year.
	 92.14(1) Suspension of enrollment.
	  a.   	 To ensure equitable treatment, applications shall be approved on a first-come, first-served basis and enrollment will be suspended when the likely costs of caring for those already enrolled will exhaust the available funding during the year. “First-come, first-served” status is determined by the date the application is approved for eligibility and entered into the computer system.
	  b.   	 As required by the waiver of Title XIX requirements allowing for federal funding of the IowaCare program, and based on available funding for the 2013-2014 state fiscal year, enrollment of new members in IowaCare will be suspended for applications filed on or after July 1, 2013.
	 92.14(2) Enrollment for limited services. Eligibility or payment for services received cannot be approved beyond the amount of funds available. Because funds are limited, applications may be approved for a reduced scope of services.
