This MTL transmits changes with the proposed effective date of August 1, 2001, with the exception of rule 5101:1-23-40. If there are any changes made to any of the rules contained in this MTL during the JCARR review period, corrected rules will be sent out with the next MTL. This cover letter includes a summary statement of policy changes. Each statement references the clearance control number (ccn) assigned when the policy change was placed in the clearance process.
CHAPTER 1000
Rule5101:1-2-01 - Applications and the Application Process for OWF, DA and RRP is being amended to change the name of the JFS 07200 (formerly ODHS 7200) to "Request for Cash, Medical and Food Stamp Assistance". The revised JFS 07200 has been issued with the joint MTL 424/FSTL 234.
The requirement in paragraph (J)(9) to secure an original signature when an application is faxed to the agency has been removed. This removal coincides with the change proposed in food stamp rule 5101:4-2-01. (CCN 4713)
CHAPTER 3000
Rule5101:1-23-40 - OWF: Payments is included in this MTL. This rule was included in MTL #423, effective July 1, 2001. Due to an unforeseen complication, the effective date of this rule was changed to July 7, 2001. THIS IS THE ONLY CHANGE AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE LANGUAGE CONTAINED IN THE RULE. Because the effective date of the rule is July 7, 2001, as opposed to July 1, 2001, we are re-issuing the rule to reflect the correct effective date of July 7, 2001.
CHAPTER 4000
Rule 5101:1-2-90 - Burial Awards is being rescinded. With the passage of Amended Substitute House Bill 94, the Burial Award Program has been eliminated. Section 5101.52 of the Revised Code has been repealed and State funding will no longer be available for the program. Instructions for completion of applications and the submission of expenditures were issued in ACT 209. (No Clearance)
CHAPTER 8000
Rule 5101:1-2-30 - Ohio Works First (OWF), Disability Assistance (DA), Medicaid, ADC-Related Medicaid: Citizenship is being amended to clarify that an individual who meets the requirements of an alien who is lawfully residing in the United States as of August 22, 1996 continues to meet the citizenship requirement for OWF, DA, and the medicaid programs as set forth in paragraph (C) of this rule.
Policy language is being removed from paragraph (B)(3) of this rule regarding the definition of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) as it relates to the Prevention, Retention, and Contingency (PRC) program. This is due to receipt of federal clarification of the definition of "assistance" versus "non assistance." The PRC program, funded from TANF provides federal public benefits which are not considered assistance.
Throughout this rule, references to County Departments of Human Services have been corrected. (CCN 4715)
