22VAC40-295 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

NOTICES OF INTENDED REGULATORY ACTION

Vol. 32 Iss. 1 - September 07, 2015

TITLE 22. SOCIAL SERVICES

STATE BOARD OF SOCIAL SERVICES

Chapter 295

Notice of Intended Regulatory Action

Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the State Board of Social Services intends to consider amending 22VAC40-295, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The current regulation describes fair hearings and administrative disqualification hearings. While those are different types of hearings, the current regulation can be interpreted as meaning fair hearings and administrative disqualification hearings are the same. The agency proposes amending 22VAC40-295-140 to provide further clarification regarding the interplay between the two hearing processes and eliminate the misunderstanding about these separate processes.

The agency does not intend to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: § 63.2-217 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Comment Deadline: October 7, 2015.

Agency Contact: Bridget Shelmet, Department of Social Services, 801 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone [phone], FAX [phone], or email [e-mail].
