A much needed once-over of the MFG rules. The letter notes that counties must provide the CW 2102 MFG informing notice form at application and each subsequent annual redetermination. Failure to issue/get the form signed at an annual redetermination that was at least 10 months prior to the birth of the child renders the MFG rule inapplicable. Prior to applying the rule, the worker is to determine if there was a 2 months or longer break in aid, or the family met another exception. The letter contains several examples, as well as a reminder that counties must provide interpretive services and written translations, as appropriate. [Download]
