Rules and forms governing the Cash Assistance Programs have been removed from the Public Assistance Manual and will be housed in the new Cash Assistance Manual (CAM), the JFS 07081. There are four Chapters and a Forms Appendix contained in the CAM - Chapter 1000 contains rules that are applicable to multiple cash assistance programs; Chapter 2000 contains Ohio Works First rules; Chapter 3000 contains Disability Assistance rules; and Chapter 4000 contains special program rules. Rather than having forms in appendices in each Chapter, they are all contained in a Forms Appendix by order of the number. Sample forms, other agency forms and charts follow the JFS forms.

The enclosed rules have not been amended from their last issuance in the Public Assistance Manual. The forms contained in the appendix were last revised as indicated on the form.

MTL 431 will be issued simultaneously with the issuance of the Cash Assistance Manual to remove the rules and forms applicable to the Ohio Works First, Disability Assistance, Refugee Cash Assistance and Special Programs from the Public Assistance Manual. A copy of the joint rules that continue to include Medicaid will be housed in both the Cash Assistance Manual and Public Assistance Manual until a Medicaid-only rule is created.

The Cash Assistance Manual will be available online, under the Office of Family Stability at: http://dynaweb.odjfs.state.oh.us:6336/dynaweb.
