| Fiscal Detail
and Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This bill may
produce savings to the Department of Health and Human services. However,
since General Assistance is administered by municipalities, DHHS does not
have client specific data to determine if the sanction period or 120 days is
greater. Also, DHHS is unable to determine which clients return to seek
General Assistance benefits once the disqualification period has ended. |
