CAMTL 75 (Five-Year Rule Review: Work Experience Program, On-The-Job Training, and Providing Child Care Services to an Individual Who is Participating in a Community Service Program)
Cash Assistance Manual Transmittal Letter No. 75
January 19, 2012
TO: Cash Assistance Manual Holders
FROM: Michael B. Colbert, Director
SUBJECT: Five-Year Rule Review: Work experience program, On-the-job training, and Providing child care services to an individual who is participating in a community service program.

Section 119.032 of the Ohio Revised Code requires a review of all state agency rules within a five-year period. The purpose of this review is to determine whether a rule should be continued without amendment, be amended or be rescinded, taking into consideration the rule's purpose and scope. In addition, the intent of the review is to ensure that rules are clear and concise as written, that program requirements are accurate and up-to-date, that unnecessary paperwork is eliminated, and that, when possible, local agencies are given more flexibility. As part of the ongoing review process, the acronym "CDJFS" has been changed to "county agency" to align with the Food Assistance rules.

This letter transmits the updated rules with the proposed effective date of February 1, 2012. The following is a summary of the policies reviewed.
