On this Periodic Review

Pursuant to Executive Order Number 36 (2006), the Department of Social Services is currently reviewing 22VAC40-295, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, to determine if it should be terminated, amended, or retained in its current form. The review will be guided by the principles listed in Executive Order Number 36 (2006) and in the department’s Plan for Review of Existing Agency Regulations.

The department seeks public comment regarding the regulation’s interference in private enterprise and life, essential need of the regulations, less burdensome and intrusive alternatives to the regulations, specific and measurable goals that the regulation is intended to achieve, and whether the regulation is clearly written and easily understandable.

Written comments may be submitted until November 17, 2008, in care of Mark L. Golden, TANF Program Manager, Division of Benefit Programs, 7 North 8th Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, by facsimile to (804) 726-7356, or by e-mail to mark.golden@dss.virginia.gov.
