                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

AUTHORITY OF BOARD UPON AMENDMENTS OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT OR REGULATIONS OF
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (§ 63.2-406)

In the event the Social Security Act or other statutes or regulations adopted by
the Department of Health and Human Services are amended to change requirements
to entitle the Commonwealth to federal grants or reimbursement for public
assistance payments and expenditures for social services, the Board may by
regulation adopt such standards, requirements and procedures that would bring
the public assistance and social services programs into compliance with the
federal requirements so as not to interfere with, diminish or jeopardize the
Commonwealth&#8217;s entitlement to federal grants or reimbursement for public
assistance payments or expenditures for social services.
		If federal statutes or regulations are amended to permit funds appropriated by
Congress to be used for public assistance to or social services for any persons
eligible for assistance under §§ 63.2-319 and 63.2-802, the Board may,
pursuant to the provisions of § 63.2-217, make applicable such provisions of
Subtitles II and III of this title as the Board finds necessary to enable the
Commonwealth to receive reimbursement for such public assistance and social
services. The Board may also by regulation define eligibility within the
limitations of § 63.2-802 of persons to receive public assistance or social
services under any amendments of the Social Security Act or other statutes. It
is the purpose of this section to enable the Commonwealth to meet the
requirements for federal reimbursement of public assistance or social services
to persons who are eligible for public assistance or social services under
Subtitles II and III of this title or who may be eligible under amendments of
the Social Security Act.
