AGING, DEPARTMENT ON[17]

Adopted and Filed

Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code sections 231.23 and 17A.3, the Department on Aging hereby amends Chapter 7, "Area Agency on Aging Service Delivery," Iowa Administrative Code.

This amendment removes the six-month assessment requirement to review the older individual's eligibility to receive a home-delivered meal. This change is intended to provide efficiencies in the area agencies on aging operations. The area agency on aging is still obligated to have procedures in place related to the determination of need, and the timing is at the area agency on aging's discretion. The area agency on aging can still review the eligibility on a six-month basis if necessary.

Notice of Intended Action was published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin as ARC 2967C on March 15, 2017. No comments were received from the public. This amendment is identical to that published under Notice.

After analysis and review of this rule making, no adverse impact on jobs has been found.

This amendment is intended to implement Iowa Code section 231.66.

This amendment will become effective July 26, 2017.

The following amendment is adopted.

Amend paragraph 7.21(2)"a" as follows:
