351.7 Supervisory review and approval.
Social services districts have the option of requiring supervisory approval for case
actions on all public assistance cases. Social services districts that chose not to review
all public assistance cases must have a plan in place describing their requirements for
supervisory approval. Such plan must be approved by the Office prior to its impimentation.
Supervisory approval must be indicated by a dated signature in the case record.
Supervisory approval must be based upon review of all available information pertaining to
eligibility and the amount of entitlement. It must include approval of decisions to deny
public assistance as well as decisions to change grants or to refer applicants or
recipients for services.
