Sec. 96.71  Definitions.

    (a) Section 2005 (a)(2) and (a)(5) (42 U.S.C. 1397d (a)(2) and 
(a)(5)) of the Social Security Act establishes prohibitions against the 
provision of room and board and medical care unless, among other 
reasons, they are an ``integral but subordinate'' part of a State-
authorized social service. ``Integral but subordinate'' means that the 
room and

board provided for a short term or medical care is a minor but essential 
adjunct to the service of which it is a part and is necessary to achieve 
the objective of that service. Room and board provided for a short term 
shall not be considered an integral but subordinate part of a social 
service when it is provided to an individual in a foster family home or 
other facility the primary purpose of which is to provide food, shelter, 
and care or supervision, except for temporary emergency shelter provided 
as a protective service.
    (b) As used in section 2005(a)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 1397d (a)(5)) with respect to the limitations governing the 
provision of services by employees of certain institutions, employees 
includes staff, contractors, or other individuals whose activities are 
under the professional direction or direct supervision of the 
institution.
