Description of Subjects/Issues |
See attachment for detailed description.
CDHS holds two public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule packet.
The initial hearing allows the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule.
The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule.
Please visit CDHS State Board website for meeting dates.

Purpose/Objective of Rule |
"Colorado Works is the State’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. It provides cash assistance and employment and stabilization services to Colorado’s neediest families. The value of the cash assistance benefits has eroded over time, as it is not adjusted for inflation or cost of living increases. Since its establishment in 1997, the purchasing power of Colorado’s Basic Cash Assistance (BCA) grant has decreased 35%. The benefit amount was last modified slightly in 2009.
The purpose of this change is to ensure BCA is increased to more closely align with inflation and cost of living increases." |
