TITLE 470 DIVISION OF FAMILY RESOURCES

Economic Impact Statement

LSA Document #08-278

IC 4-22-2.1-5 requires an agency to submit to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) a statement of economic impact of any proposed rule with an economic impact on small businesses. The IEDC is required to review the rule and submit written comments to the agency not later than seven days before the public hearing. A copy of the rule and the notice of intent to adopt the rule is attached.

The Division of Family Resources (DFR) has reviewed the proposed rule to determine the economic impact of the rule on small businesses, and, based on the information available at the time of rule promulgation, the proposed rule does not impose requirements or costs on small businesses.

The proposed rule is an internal state policy change, which implements a thirty (30) day application process for food stamp applicants. It also allows DFR to accept electronic signatures and provides more clarification of the application process.

There is no alternative method to achieving the purpose of the rule.
