§447. Revision of standard of need; aid to families with dependent children; general assistance
A. The Louisiana Department of Health and the Department of Children and Family Services jointly shall revise the standard of need for the Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program and the general assistance program each year, basing such standard on the Annual Update of the Poverty Income Guidelines published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The standard shall reflect the higher of the southern and national averages. The departments shall cause such revised standard to become effective on January first of each year.
B. Implementation of this provision shall be contingent on the Louisiana Department of Health and the Department of Children and Family Services certifying to the commissioner of the division of administration that the revision will not increase the total state dollar expenditure for the two departments.
