Subject: | Public Assistance and School Particpation |
In the near future I plan to reintroduce former House Bill 2233, Public Assistance and School Participation. If enacted, this legislation would amend a section of the Public Welfare Code of 1967 regarding Responsibilities and Obligations of Department Applicants and Recipients. Currently, each applicant or recipient of assistance is required, as a condition of eligibility, to enter into a mutual agreement with the PA Department of Public Welfare. This mutual agreement sets forth the responsibilities and obligations to be undertaken by the recipient, the time frames within which each obligation is to be completed, the penalties for failure to comply and the actions to be taken by the Department. My legislation simply expands a recipient's obligations to include volunteering at his/her child's school based on the needs of the school, for a period as determined by regulations set by the department. I invite you to co-sponsor this important legislation. |
