    (a) General. A program of independent living services may be

    (2) Maintain the newly achieved level of independence in daily 
living.

    (b) Period of independent living services. The duration of an 
independent living services program may not exceed 24 months unless the

Counseling and Rehabilitation Officer in this finding is required.
