| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The Department of Human Services is required to implement a program to distribute fuel assistance payments on and after July 1, 2024 to households that receive supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) benefits but that do not receive assistance through the low income energy assistance program (LEAP) in order in order to qualify those households for the standard utility allowance to maximize their SNAP benefits. This fuel assistance program is titled Energy Electronic Benefits Transfer (E-EBT). The program only benefits SNAP participants, however the assistance is a cash benefit that is separate from SNAP.A new section of rule is necessary to outline the new program’s definitions, program eligibility requirements, normal processing standards, expungement timelines, and overpayment collection actions. |

| Comments |
CDHS typically holds 2 public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule. The initial hearing allowing the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule. Emergency rules (ER) are adopted immediately, and are permanently adopted at a second hearing, usually the month after the initial hearing. This hearing emergency adopted this rule at the 6/7/24 meeting that will be permanently adopted through SOS2024-00270.
