HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT[441]
Notice of Intended Action
Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)“b.”
Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 234.6, the Department of Human Services proposes to amend Chapter 170, “Child Care Services,” Iowa Administrative Code.
The purpose of this amendment is to revise the child care assistance (CCA) fee chart based on new federal poverty levels (FPLs). This is an annual update that will allow families that have received raises to maintain eligibility for CCA without paying increased fees.
Any interested person may make written comments on the proposed amendments on or before March 25, 2014. Comments should be directed to Harry Rossander, Bureau of Policy Coordination, Department of Human Services, Hoover State Office Building, 1305 East Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319-0114. Comments may be sent by fax to (515)281-4980 or by e-mail to policyanalysis@dhs.state.ia.us.
This amendment does not provide for waivers in specified situations because families may request a waiver of these provisions in a specified situation under the Department’s general rule on exceptions at 441—1.8(17A,217).
After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found.
This amendment is intended to implement Iowa Code section 237A.13.
The following amendment is proposed.
	Amend paragraph 170.4(2)“a” as follows:
	a. 	Sliding fee schedule.
