Correct the title.
| EFFECT: Makes the following changes to the underlying bill: Removes amendatory language making participation in vocational rehabilitation services for persons receiving Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) or Pregnant Women Assistance (PWA) benefits voluntary, and reinstates current law requiring participation in such services when assessed as beneficial to the recipient. Modifies the provision that places the income eligibility standard for the ABD and Essential Needs and Housing (HEN) programs in agency rule to provide that the eligibility standard must not exceed 100% of the federal poverty level. Removes amendatory language making the list of good cause reasons for failing to participate in substance use disorder treatment as a condition of ABD, PWA, or HEN program eligibility non-exhaustive, and instead adds to the list of good cause reasons that the person is a parent or other relative providing care to a minor child or incapacitated individual, and necessary alternative care for that child or incapacitated individual is not available. |
