In accordance with section 106.03 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC), each state agency is required to review each of its rules in the Ohio Administrative Code a minimum of once every five years.  The intent of the review is to ensure that Administrative Code rules are clearly written and that program requirements are accurate, up-to-date and clearly expressed.  To the extent possible, unnecessary paperwork will be eliminated, local agencies will be given increased flexibility, and any adverse impact on businesses will be eliminated or reduced.  As a result of the review, the agency may amend these rules; rescind these rules; or continue these rules without amendment.

This rule has been subject to a review by the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR).  The rule will become effective on 10/01/2020.

This rule describes the procedures for county agencies to follow regarding the Ohio Works First and Refugee Cash Assistance verification and reporting requirements.  The Office of Family Assistance amended this rule to remove form revision dates as a result of Senate Bill 221 of the 132nd General Assembly that amended incorporation by reference requirements contained in section 121.71 to 121.75 of the Ohio Revised Code.
