In response to questions from field staff this manual change includes information on how Refugee Cash Assistance and one-time Refugee Resettlement payments are treated for the APA Adult Public Assistance program.

 

In addition to other technical changes, the section on conducting interviews was revised to correctly describe the date the denial notice is sent for a request for service application.  The verification section in Chapter 410 was also updated to add information about the SOLQ interface and remove obsolete information about the Senior Benefit interface.

 

Highlights of these policy revisions are described below.  If you have any questions please contact the Policy and Program Development Team at 465-3382 or email dpapolicy@alaska.gov.
