April 2009 Emergency Justification

MSB 09-13-16-A
This rule will prevent families from losing income eligibility for CHP+ benefits due to income from temporary employment related to U.S. Census 2010 activities. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's timeline for the 2010 Census, census employees are scheduled to begin their work in Spring 2009. Therefore, census employees are already at work, and it is imperative that the income exemption be in place as soon as possible to prevent an interruption in health care coverage for CHP+ clients.
