Going for Philadelphia LTCF Reference Question

[ericnjttz]

Tomorrow is the big day I go apply for my LTCF in Philadelphia. However, I am new to the area and only have one PA resident reference. I can get hundreds in the horrible state of NJ where I am orginally from, but the application says its PA only.

I have been searching and reading and have read that it doesnt have to be a PA resident, that they can't make up their own rules and must follow the state. However, this is Philadelphia, and we already know how that goes.

Does anyone know if it HAS to be PA, maybe someone that has dealt with this recently. I would hate to get denied over using a non-resident reference.

It cant hurt to call your local sheriff and ask. ofcourse pafoa member from your area would know exactly. in Lackawanna county I don't recall my app saying specifically pa residents. I know philly is tuff though.

No need to ask or confirm with anyone.

Your reference can't be a family member, other than that, they can reside in any county, country or nation in the world.

If the "application" says "PA Only", what you have been given is not a lawful or valid application

Throw it in the trash

The LTCF application is set at the state level and uniform in every county

Others will tell you that you MUST comply with all the illegal, yes, illegal requirements the PPD is demanding. Others will tell you fear stories about being denied if you don't...do whatever you want but what you have is unlawful, Id throw it in the trash.

You are under no obligation to be fingerprinted, interviewed, pay parking tickets, documents tattoos and scars, fill out a reference sheet, etc

Choice is yours to comply or stand up. GL either way

Depends on what kinda guy he is.

Point is, now he has all the facts, next move is up to him

He can be part of the solution or part of the...
