002.01 Composition of Manuals:

Program manuals are written primarily for Department staff use for applying program policies in accordance with state and federal requirements. Each title of the manual contains policies and also an Appendix.

1-002.01A The NAC: The Administrative Procedures Act (APA) Sections 84-901, et seq. of the Nebraska Revised Statutes mandates the procedures for state agencies to follow when adopting rules and regulations. The Nebraska Administrative Code (NAC) is a codification of certified regulations and rules of Nebraska state agencies covered by the APA. The Division of Regulations of the Secretary of State's Office is charged by statute with adopting the numbering system and format for regulations. This division assigns Titles to each agency.

1-002.01B The Appendix: The Department has added an appendix to each Title of the Manual to include supportive materials including forms, charts, listings, examples, miscellaneous procedures and other issuances which are not germane to the State NAC system. These supportive materials, though not regulatory, are binding on Department staff.

002.02 Numbering System:

1-002.02A The NAC System: NAC is the numbering system adopted by the Secretary of State. Nebraska statute requires that all state agencies with certified regulations adopt this uniform system. The Nebraska Department of Social Services is assigned NAC Titles 390 through 406 and Titles 463 through 482.
