| Description of Subjects/Issues |
This rule package makes several changes to modernize the Adult Financial (AF) programs. First, it adds the ability for counties to make supportive payments based on a declared disaster. Second, it increases the Aid to the Needy Disabled State Only (AND-SO) grant payment from $217/month to $248/month. The AND-SO grant payment has not been increased since September 2018. Third, this rule makes Home Care Allowance (HCA) the program of last resort, connecting clients to more robust and partially federally funded waiver services. Fourth, it corrects the treatment of Child Support income to align with federal benefit programs. Finally, it cleans up a technical internal rule citation. NOTE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it is anticipated that this meeting will take place entirely online.

| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
This rule package makes several changes to modernize the Adult Financial (AF) programs. First, it adds the ability for counties to make supportive payments based on a declared disaster. Second, it increases the Aid to the Needy Disabled-State Only (AND-SO) grant payment from $217/month to $248/month. The AND-SO grant payment has not been increased since September 2018. Third, this rule makes Home Care Allowance (HCA) the program of last resort by connecting clients to more robust and partially federally funded waiver services. The HCA program, like waiver services, provides support to clients to receive care in their home. Fourth, it corrects the treatment of Child Support income to align with federal benefit programs. Finally, it cleans up a technical internal rule citation. |

| Comments |
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. NOTE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it is anticipated that this meeting will take place entirely online.Please check here for any updates on location/connection: https://cdhs.colorado.gov/sbhs |
