WSR 09-23-004
[ Filed November 5, 2009, 7:44 a.m. , effective November 15, 2009 ]
Effective Date of Rule: November 15, 2009.
Other Findings Required by Other Provisions of Law as Precondition to Adoption or Effectiveness of Rule: The agency finds that this action is required by the federal SNAP Administrative Notice 09-51 (RCW 34.05.380 (3)(a)). The effective date of this rule coincides with the effective date of WAC 388-450-0015 filed as WSR 09-16-095 which becomes effective November 15, 2009.
Purpose: The department is amending WAC 388-450-0185 What income deductions does the department allow when determining if I am eligible for food benefits and the amount of my monthly benefits? This rule is necessary to exercise an option from the 2002 farm bill to treat child support payments made to someone outside of the home as an income exclusion prior to administering the gross income test.
This change will enhance the division of child support's mission to collect child support and will enhance community services division's mission to assist low-income families to access the Basic Food program.
Other Authority: P.L. 107 - 171 § 4101.
Adopted under notice filed as WSR 09-19-148 on September 23, 2009.
