Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 182-503-0515 Washington apple health—Social Security number requirements; other related rules as appropriate.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The agency is amending WAC 182-503-0515 to add a new subsection (6)(f) to name the family planning only program described in WAC 182-532-510 as an additional program for which a Social Security number is not required. The agency has determined this rule amendment is necessary because the agency is expanding family planning only program services to all Washington residents, including those who do not have a Social Security number. During the course of this review, the agency may identify additional related changes that are required in order to improve clarity or update policy.
