Family Reimbursed Respite (FRR)
Family Reimbursed Respite (FRR) Guidelines
FRR is a reimbursement service to the family for the expense they incur in being relieved of their primary caregiver responsibilities.
This service is not available to individuals living independently.
For instructions on how to enter FRR in eVero, please see Appendix D.
Examples of Allowable Activities:
During school hours when the individual is not in school.
For community classes, camp, out of pocket expenses by a DPP agency, so long as it provides relief to the caregiver.
For Camp and Community Classes: only allowed if reimbursement has not been requested or already paid from that budget category.
The “Add Service” section must be completed.
The hourly rate can be up to $50/hour without justification. If an individual wants to pay the provider at a higher rate, an email with a justification explaining the reason must be sent or included in the “Description” section on the invoice.
For example: "The rate is set by the provider," or "Due to the last-minute nature of the request, the provider requested a higher rate."
Attachments are no longer required and should not be attached to FRR invoices in eVero.
