IM-24  03/04/97 CLARIFICATION OF INTERIM ASSISTANCE
REIMBURSEMENT (IAR) PROCEDURES


SUBJECT:
CLARIFICATION OF INTERIM ASSISTANCE REIMBURSEMENT (IAR) PROCEDURES
 
DISCUSSION:
Recently, the Social Security Administration conducted a monitoring review of the Interim Assistance Reimbursement (IAR) procedures of the Division of Family Services (DFS) and the Division of Budget and Finance (DBF).   As a result of this review it was determined that the IM-77 Interim Assistance Reimbursement  (Authorization) process needs to be clarified in two areas.  Please remind staff of the  following:
  • Form IM-77 Interim Assistance Reimbursement (Authorization) must be sent to the local Social Security office within 10 days of receipt.  Send the original signed copy to the local Social Security whenever the disability is expected to last six months or longer or when the individual applies for SSI.  Send the second copy (canary) to the Division of Budget and Finance whenever the agreement has been sent to SSA and the GR case is approved/ active.  File the third copy in the case record.  Give the last copy (goldenrod) to the client at the time the form is signed.
  • If the General Relief application is rejected after the agreement has been sent to the local Social Security office, check the block at the bottom of the IM-77 form labeled   Application for State Assistance Rejected.  Sign and date the file copy and mail  immediately to the local SSA office for disposition.
This is not a change to current procedure. Continue to use the IM-77 and instructions as written in the Forms Manual.
NECESSARY ACTION:
  • Review this memorandum with all appropriate staff.
