This rule is proposed to be effective January 13, 2006. If no revisions are made to the proposed rule prior to the finalization by JCARR, it will become effective on a permanent basis on January 13, 2006. If changes are necessary, a copy of the revised rule will be forwarded to you at that time.
Rule 5101:4-6-27 was reviewed in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code 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 The purpose of a rule review is to determine whether a rule should be continued without amendment, be amended, or be rescinded, taking into consideration each rule's scope and purpose.
5101:4-6-27: Food Stamps: Shelters for Battered Women and Their Children
This rule is being amended to correspond with the language in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). There are no changes to this rule which directly impacts the eligibility of applicants/recipients or how any county agency will administer the program.
Chart 3 - Verification Requirements
The "Verification Requirements" chart has been revised to reflect the verification requirements of assistance groups who are subject to semi-annual reporting (SAR). Since verification of excluded income is only required if the information is questionable, this category for normal processing is being changed to "Q" (verify only if questionable).
Appendix 22 - Applicant/Recipient Authorization for Release of Information
Appendix 22, the "Applicant/Recipient Authorization for Release of Information" form is being replaced with an updated version of the form.
Fiscal Impact
There should be no fiscal impact for the county agencies to implement this rule. No additional staff will be needed. No additional supplies, equipment, or travel is involved.
Training and Technical Assistance
Training and technical assistance needs to implement this rule will be minimal. Clarification regarding this rule will be available to county staff by ODJFS through the Bureau of County Oversight and Support, Program Policy Services staff.
