NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule provides eligibility criteria for the state funded programs of general assistance and working toward employment. Section 35A-1-303 provides the authority to adopt rules governing adjudicative procedures. Section 35A-1-104 authorizes the Department of Workforce Services to adopt rules. Subsection 35A-1-104(4) authorizes the Department to establish eligibility standards for its programs.

 

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No objection was received to the requirement that clients obtain coverage from the Health Department under the Primary Care Network (PCN) program.

 

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule is necessary to establish eligibility criteria for these two programs, without the rule there would be no eligibility standards. The department helped clients to get the majority of the premium for the PCN waived as a response to the written objections. It is essential that these clients have health coverage in order to help them with their problems.
