Universal Citation: 7 AK Admin Code 47.465

Current through November 28, 2024

(a) If legislative appropriations are not adequate to meet the projected service needs for general relief assistance in a given fiscal year, the department will limit the number of individuals who will receive assistance to avoid suspending the program before the end of the fiscal year. To limit the number of participants, the department will establish a wait list for individuals who would be eligible to receive general relief assistance under 7 AAC 47.300 - 7 AAC 47.535 if adequate legislative appropriations were available.

(b) To select individuals from the wait list under (a) of this section, the department will use the following order of preference, based on the date of the letter approving a complete application:

(1) individuals who the department has determined are vulnerable and in need of protective placement under AS 47.24.017(d);

(2) individuals who will be discharged directly from an institution for mental disease, a facility operated by the Department of Corrections, a hospital, or a long-term care facility;

(3) all other individuals.

(c) If the department selects an individual from the wait list, the individual shall confirm whether the individual still wants to receive assistance not later than 20 days from the selection date. If the selected individual will have been on the wait list for 60 or more days by the time the general relief assistance would begin, the department may require the individual to submit a new physician's report under 7 AAC 47.390, and new income and resource information described in 7 AAC 47.340 - 7 AAC 47.370.
