This bill
establishes a 180-day state residency requirement for applicants for
municipal general assistance. This requirement will likely reduce eligibility
for certain applicants for general assistance for a period of time and
decrease the general assistance funding required by the Department of Health
and Human Services. A more precise estimate of the fiscal impact is not
possible because recipient data related to number of months on assistance,
amounts paid to each recipient, and the number of recipients who could
potentially be impacted by this new residency requirement is kept at the
municipal level and varies over time. |
