I. PURPOSE
This directive advises Social Services Districts (SSDs) of changes
made by Chapter 53 of the Laws of 1992 which require ADC and HR
applicants and recipients who appear to be eligible for Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) to apply for and pursue SSI benefits as a
condition of eligibility. It further requires that each SSD have a
system in place to identify, assess, refer, assist and track
applicants/recipients subject to these requirements.
