The Department shall establish eligibility standards for the Program, taking into consideration the disability levels and service needs of the target population. The Department shall create application forms which shall be used to determine the eligibility of adults with mental disabilities to participate in the Program. The forms shall be made available by the Department and shall require at least the following items of information which constitute eligibility criteria for participation in the Program:
         (a) A statement that the adult with a mental
    
disability resides in the State of Illinois and is over the age of 18 years.
        (b) Verification that the adult with a mental
    
disability has one of the following conditions: severe autism, severe mental illness, a severe or profound intellectual disability, or severe and multiple impairments.

        (d) Verification that the adult with a mental
    
disability resides full-time in his or her own home or that, within 2 months of receipt of services under this Article, he or she will reside full-time in his or her own home.
    The Department may by rule adopt provisions establishing liability of responsible relatives of a recipient of services under this Article for the payment of sums representing charges for services to such recipient. Such rules shall be substantially similar to the provisions for such liability contained in Chapter V of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, as now or hereafter amended, and rules adopted pursuant thereto.
