SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Public assistance; eligibility determinations. Allows the Commissioner of Social Services, when necessary to overcome backlogs in the application and renewal process, to temporarily utilize other entities to receive and process applications for public assistance, conduct periodic eligibility renewals, and perform other tasks associated with eligibility determinations. Such entities shall be subject to the same confidentiality requirements as local departments of social services, and applications and renewals processed by such entities shall be subject to the same appeals process as those processed by local departments. The bill also directs local departments of social services and the Commissioner to perform certain tasks related to eligibility determinations that are currently delegated to local boards of social services.
