Cash Assistance Manual Transmittal Letter No. 91

TO: All Cash Assistance Manual Holders
FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director
SUBJECT: Five year rule review: Issuance of Cash Assistance Benefits.

In accordance with Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 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 The purpose of a rule review is to determine whether a rule should be continued without amendment, amended or be rescinded, taking into consideration each rule's scope and purpose.

A five-year review was recently conducted on Ohio Administrative Code rule 5101:1-2-70, "Issuance of Cash Assistance Benefits".

The rule is effective on May 1, 2014.

The following describes the revisions:
