Final Federal TANF Regulations Give States Broad Program and Spending Flexibility - States Face Critical Choices on How to Serve Needy Families From June 1999 Welfare News HHS’s final TANF regulations, published in the Federal Register on April 12, 1999, give states "extraordinary flexibility," in HHS’s words, to spend federal TANF and state maintenance of effort (MOE) funds on a broad array of programs far beyond traditional cash welfare programs, as long as they are designed to accomplish the purposes of TANF. The final regulations differ significantly from the proposed regulations in ways that promote rather than curtail state discretion. In addition, drastic cash assistance caseload declines have meant that most states have significant amounts of unspent federal TANF funds. As a result, states now have a remarkable opportunity to adopt programs that respond to the varied needs of low income families - whether they be working families, families seeking education and training to prepare for employment, or families unable to find or maintain paid employment. With this discretion comes the challenge of assuring that funding is indeed targeted in ways that effectively address families’ needs and that spending is fairly directed to low income families in various situations, including those in deepest poverty. Members of the low income community and their allies in the human needs community also face the challenge of educating state policymakers about community needs, securing a voice in the decision-making process, and understanding and monitoring how states spend their federal TANF and state funds.

News from the Committee on Education and the Workforce John Boehner, Chairman FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 2, 2003 CONTACTS: Alexa Marrero or Dave Schnittger Telephone: (202) 225-4527 Subcommittee Approves Bill to Improve Results for Students with Disabilities, Ease Paperwork for Teachers WASHINGTON, D.C. - The bill would reform and reauthorize the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), aligning the special education law with the No Child Left Behind Act, the landmark education reform package enacted just over a year ago that for the first time requires accountability for academic results for all children, including children with disabilities. H.R. 1350 makes several reforms, including provisions designed to reduce the overwhelming paperwork burden on special education teachers, increase and improve early intervention strategies, and refocus the law away from compliance with complex federal regulations and back on providing a high quality education for children with disabilities. “Today, more than ever, students with disabilities have an opportunity to accomplish their goals,” said Castle. “Although IDEA has many success stories, there is still room for improvement in serving children with disabilities. Now more than ever, we must make sure that children with disabilities are given access to an education that maximizes their unique abilities and provides them with tools for later successful, productive lives.”

Wiesner, president, Wiesner Associates, Advocates in Aging, Sarasota, Fla. Online Exclusive, How to craft them without endangering a disabled beneficiary’s access to public-aid programs Print-friendly format E-mail this information In recent years, estate planners have been hearing the term “special needs trust” (SNT) more frequently. These vehicles are increasingly used to administer tort recoveries for plaintiffs who want to maintain their eligibility for public assistance. But they also have been surfacing more in charitable-trust and elective-share planning. Traditionally, SNTs have been used to address the planning concerns of parents with disabled or dysfunctional children. The estate planner’s role in creating ways for clients to identify and achieve their goals is rarely as poignant as when enlisted on behalf of the parents of a disabled child. Of course, disabled offspring are just as likely to be part of a wealthy family as any other, and the parents of such a child will be intensely concerned about ensuring that the child’s needs are met after their deaths. The fundamental objective of using an SNT is to leverage the beneficiary’s health-care costs, first from available public-benefit funds and only then from the discretionary trust. The settlor’s intent is to use trust income and principal as a supplement to, not substitute for, benefits and support provided by governmental programs.

Lead-Based Paint Regulations By Michael Butchko, Neighborhood Reinvestment External Affairs (last updated November 2000) Overview On September 15, 1999, the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published a final regulation, "Requirements for Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Federally Owned Residential Property and Housing Receiving Public Assistance." http://www.hud.gov/lea/1012_3final.pdf The hazard-reduction requirements in this regulation are based on scientific research and the practical experience of cities, states, and others who have been controlling lead-based paint hazards in low-income housing through HUD assistance. The requirements apply to housing built before 1978, the year lead-based paint was banned nationwide for consumer use. The new regulation puts all the Department's lead-based paint regulations in one part of the Code of Federal Regulations, making it much easier to find. HUD estimates about 2.8 million housing units will be affected by the regulation during its first five years. The regulation sets hazard-reduction requirements that give much greater emphasis than existing regulations to reducing lead in house dust. Scientific research has found that exposure to lead in dust is the most common way young children become lead poisoned. Therefore, the new regulation requires dust testing after paint is disturbed to make sure the home is lead-safe. Specific requirements depend on whether the housing is being disposed of or assisted by the federal government, and also on the type and amount of financial assistance, the age of the structure, and whether the dwelling is rental or owner-occupied.

DOE Modifies Special Education Regulations Parental consent, IEP team accord and timely documents are some areas that require compliance. By Cherie L. Maxwell, Esq. ONCE AGAIN THE DEPARTMENT OF Education has revisited and revised Title 6A:14 of the New Jersey Administrative Code dealing with special education. Some of the changes may have a far-reaching impact on districts and must be carefully reviewed to assure prompt compliance. Parental Consent to Initial IEP One of the most significant changes in the special education code is reflected in an August 21, 2001 memorandum issued by Barbara Gantwerk, director of the Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs.1 In response to a review by the U.S. Department of Education, New Jersey has been directed to modify the code that addresses parental consent during initial evaluation procedures.2 While the long-standing rule in New Jersey has been that a district may (and should) use due process or mediation procedures when a parent refuses consent for an initial evaluation and/or refuses initial implementation of an individualized education program, the federal Department of Education has interpreted the federal regulations to mean that a board of education may not use due process procedures in these cases. This change is effective immediately. This means that a board of education no longer has the ability to file a due process petition to seek implementation of an initial IEP if the parent withholds consent. The practical effect of this modification is that a district can evaluate, determine eligibility and recommend a program, but unless the parent agrees, it can do nothing to implement the IEP program and services for the student. Clearly, this position runs counter to the historic position of the New Jersey Department of Education, which has encouraged districts’ efforts to assure that each student with a disability receives appropriate services.
