Cash Assistance Manual Transmittal Letter No. 93
August 28, 2014
TO: All Cash Assistance Manual Holders
FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director
SUBJECT: Five year rule review: Written Declaration of Citizenship/Alien Status and the Use of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements System.

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 The purpose of a rule review is to determine whether a rule should be continued without amendment, amended or be rescinded, taking into consideration each rule's scope and purpose.

The rule will become effective on September 01, 2014.

The following describes the revisions:

CHAPTER 1000

5101:1-1-50 Written declaration of citizenship/alien status and the use of the systematic alien verification for entitlements system.

This rule sets forth the policy regarding written declaration for citizenship and alien status of noncitizens who apply for the Ohio Works First; Prevention, Retention and Contingency; and Refugee Cash Assistance programs. As part of the ongoing rule review process:

  • The acronym "CDJFS" has been changed to "county agency" to align with the Food Assistance rules.
  • This rule has other minor language changes to improve clarity.
