Eligibility for Direct Social Services [22 VAC 40 ‑ 780]
Action:
Amend Financial Eligibility Criteria
Action 4388
 
General Information
Action Summary This regulatory action makes two changes to 22VAC40-780. The first is to simplify the name. At the time of the regulation’s introduction in 1985, the purpose may have been to eliminate some eligibility criteria related to the provision of direct social services; however, the regulation now simply provides authority for local departments of social services (LDSS) to provide direct services to families who are found to be eligible in one of three categories. The second change is to remove language in section 60 which makes reference to employment services programs. Employment services programs are benefit/public assistance programs rather than social services programs, so the reference in this regulation is unnecessary.
