Section Cdfa 310.04 - Scores Reflecting Percent of Households Receiving Human Services Assistance

(a) The authority shall use the data described in (b), (c), and (d) to establish the municipality/county scores which appear in Appendix 3. These scores reflect the percent of household population receiving state human services assistance. This percentage shall be calculated for the most recent calendar year using caseload data obtained by the authority from the New Hampshire department of health and human services.

(b) The following sequence of formulas shall be used to determine the percent of households receiving human services assistance in each municipality:

(1) Sum the number of persons receiving:

a.Old Age Assistance (OAA);

b. Aid to the Needy and Blind (ANB);

c. Aid to the Permanently Disabled and Totally Disabled (APTD);

d.Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF); and

e.Food stamps excluding cash payments; and

(2) Divide the sum in (1) by the municipal total household population.

(c) Municipalities shall then be ranked on the basis of the percentages obtained in subparagraph (b). The municipality with the highest percentage rate shall receive 10 points, that with the lowest, 0 points, with the remaining municipalities receiving scores between 0 and 10 based on their ranking.

(d) County scores shall be calculated as follows:

(1) The score for each eligible municipality within the county shall be weighted by multiplying the municipal score from (c) by the municipal household population and dividing by the total population in the county; and

(2) The county score shall equal the sum of the weighted scores of the eligible municipalities within the county.
