Section 660-2-4-.03 - Rights And Responsibilities

(1) Any person has the right to apply for assistance, have his/her eligibility determined, and if found eligible, to receive an established monthly amount. Although persons receiving a direct payment are to use these funds for their personal care needs, there are no restrictions otherwise on their use. The recipient of public assistance funds must assume the responsibilities of furnishing all necessary facts and documentation to establish or reestablish eligibility, advise the Department of any changes in his/her circumstances within 10 days which might affect eligibility and/or the amount of the assistance grant, and to provide the Department with any channel of information concerning his/her affairs that may be determined necessary. An applicant/recipient who refuses to cooperate with the Department by not providing required information, verification or documentation shall be denied/terminated as eligibility cannot be established.
