Summary Statement
When a disabled adult or elder person subject to abuse, neglect, self-neglect or exploitation, is physically present in the state of Georgia - that individual is considered to meet the residency requirement for Adult Protective Services (APS).
Basic Considerations
Protective Services are provided to individuals without regard to citizenship status or permanent residency in the state of Georgia. In addition to residency, the individual must meet all other eligibility requirements to qualify for APS services.
Refer to 2001 APS Reports and Opening Cases Overview or eligibility requirements.
Procedures
The Central Intake specialist will ask if the adult is present in the state.
If the alleged victim of abuse, neglect, or exploitation is not present in Georgia the report will be referred to the state of residency.
Refer to 2010 Reports of A/N/E from Out-Of-State Reporters for out-of-state referral process.
