^*Data on the use of representatives for Arkansas and Florida come from consumer-level program records. All children were required to use program representatives; however, for a few, none were designated at enrollment. New Jersey did not keep consumer-level data on representatives; however, staff reported during the site visit that about two-thirds of elderly consumers had a representative and that the proportion for nonelderly consumers was considerably smaller.
