Food Assistance Transmittal Letter No. 432
July 12, 2022
TO: All Food Assistance Manual Holders
FROM: Matt Damschroder, Director
SUBJECT: Food Assistance: Voluntary Quit and Reduction of Work Effort

In accordance with section 106.03 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC), each state agency is required to review each of its rules in the Ohio Administrative Code a minimum of once every five years.  The intent of the review is to ensure that Administrative Code rules are clearly written and that program requirements are accurate, up-to-date based on regulations from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Federal and Nutrition Services (FNS) and clearly expressed.  To the extent possible, unnecessary paperwork will be eliminated, local agencies will be given increased flexibility, and any adverse impact on businesses will be eliminated or reduced.  As a result of the review, the agency may amend the rule; rescind the rule; or continue the rule without amendment.

This rule has been subject to a review by the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR). The changes will become effective on 08/01/2022.
