I. Purpose
The purpose of this administrative directive is to remind social
services districts (SSDs) of the requirement that veterans and/or
their dependents, as a condition of Public Assistance (PA) and
Medical Assistance (MA) eligibility, must explore and utilize all
available veterans benefits. Veterans and their dependents must now
agree to be referred to a state or county veterans office so that
their eligibility for veterans related benefits can be assessed.
