Aftercare services program—postservices allowance, 187.3(7)
ARC 5020C
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT[441]
Adopted and Filed
Rule making related to aftercare amounts
The Human Services Department hereby amends Chapter 187, "Aftercare Services Program," Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rule Making
This rule making is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 234.46.
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rule making implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code section 234.46.
Purpose and Summary
When Chapter 187 was recently amended, the new language was unclear. The Department believes there was an oversight when changes were made, and the result was that some participants may receive less financial support than was intended. This amendment corrects that error by clarifying that youth who previously received aftercare services may receive up to $300 per quarter in postservices funds, which was the intent of the original amendment. This is the amount available to each youth per the aftercare contract.
