Cash Assistance Manual Transmittal Letter No. 8
February 13, 2003
TO: Cash Assistance Manual Holders Food Stamp Certification Handbook Holders
FROM: Tom Hayes, Director
SUBJECT: MAY 2003 RULE REVIEW

The following rules were reviewed in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code Section 119.032. Each state agency is required to review its rules a minimum of once every five years. The intent of the law is to ensure that 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 and local agencies will be given increased flexibility. The purpose of a rule review is to determine whether a rule should be continued without amendment, be amended, or be rescinded, taking into consideration each rule's scope and purpose.

Rules reviewed include the following:

5101:4-2-05.1, 5101:4-3-01, 5101:4-3-03, 5101:4-3-05, 5101:4-3-22, 5101:4-3-23, and 5101:4-6-04.

There will be no changes to these rules which directly impact on the eligibility of applicant/recipients or how any county agency will administer the program.

Training and Technical Assistance

Training and technical assistance needs to implement these rules will be minimal. Clarification regarding these rules will be available to county staff by ODJFS through the Bureau of County Oversight and Support program policy staff.

Fiscal Impact

There will be no fiscal impact for the county agencies to implement this FSTL. The rules contain no substantive changes and no additional supplies, equipment or travel are needed.

Miscellaneous Changes

Rule 5101:4-6-04 has been revised to reflect the program name change under the Job Training Partnership Act to the Workforce Investment Act and a rule reference correction in paragraph (B)(11)(b) of this rule.
