FROM:

OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER

AT (OFFICE):

Division of Human Services Office of Economic Services

SUBJECT:

Release of Revised Form 77c, New Hampshire State Supplement Program, and Release of Form 77c(i)

TO:

ALL REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS

ATTENTION: OES Supervisors

Effective Date:

September 30, 1996

 

SUMMARY

 

This SR revises Form 77c, New Hampshire State Supplement Program, and releases Form 77c(i) for the first time.

 

POLICY

 

Form 77c, New Hampshire State Supplement Program, is an informational pamphlet which is given to state supplement applicants when they apply for financial assistance under the Old Age Assistance (OAA), Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled (APTD) or Aid to the Needy Blind (ANB) program.

 

Form 77c has been revised to include changes in terminology which reflect the reorganization of the Department of Health and Human Services. References to the Division of Human Services have been changed to the Department of Health and Human Services. Also, the section of the form entitled, "What is Reimbursement/Recovery?" has been revised to address the reimbursement and lien policy for OAA and APTD financial assistance cases. This section previously addressed liens for medical assistance only clients in great detail. Since this is a state supplement pamphlet, it was determined that the elaboration on liens on MA only clients was unnecessary.

 

IMPLEMENTATION

 

District Offices may continue using current supplies of Form 77c until the revised versions are received from printing. It is anticipated that they will arrive towards the end of September.

 

CLIENT NOTIFICATION

 

No special client notification is planned due to the changes in this pamphlet. District Offices will continue to provide state supplement applicants with this pamphlet at application.

 

TRAINING

 

No training is planned due to the procedural nature of this SR.
