The policy changes in this MTL/FSTL are effective October 1, 1999. This cover letter includes a statement of the policy change to aid in your understanding. The statement references the clearance control number (CCN) assigned when the policy change was placed in the clearance process.

Section 5107.05 of Amended Substitute House Bill 283 requires that ODHS applications must contain, if available, at least two phone numbers that a CDHS can call to contact an assistance group. This may be an individual who can contact an assistance group member for the CDHS. The ODHS 7200 has been revised to include this requirement. A SRF (Service Request Form) has been completed to add another phone number field on AEICI. We anticipate that this field will be added prior to 10/1/99.

At the request of the Office of Legal Services, language has been added to the ODHS 7200 and ODHS 7501 regarding the use of the social security number. The CRIS-E generated rights and responsibilities section of the Printed Copy of Information (PCI) document has been revised to include this language.

Requests have been processed to have the ODHS 7200 and 7501 reproduced and available for ordering from Forms Distribution. If the revised forms are not available on the effective date of this transmittal, the CDHS should reproduce copies of the attached forms. (CCN 4498)
