A. An Area Agency on Aging shall not provide directly any supportive services or nutrition services except where, in the judgment of the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services, pursuant to a request for waiver as set forth in subsection B of this section, provision of such services by the area agency is necessary to assure an adequate supply of such services, or where such services are directly related to the area agency's administrative functions, or where such services of comparable quality can be provided more economically by the area agency.
