Assistance Payments - Article 67:12

Article 67:12 is primarily related to the former AFDC program and also includes the Repatriate program and Unemployed Parent Program (UPP). In July 1997, a large portion of the Aid to Families With Dependent Children program (AFDC) was replaced by Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). The statutory authority cited in Article 67:12 was repealed in 1997. There are currently some Medicaid programs that follow 1996 AFDC rules as wells as Title IV-E (eligibility determined by CPS). This rule change updates to current statutory authoriut and makes form and style edits throughout

New content is added below as the draft rules move through the rule-making process.
